Cal. Code Regs. tit. 16 § 1399.667
Podiatric medical residencies approved by the board in accordance with Section 2484 of the code shall be those that meet the minimum requirements set by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education, have designated a Director of Medical Education, provide emergency medical training through emergency room rotations, measure and evaluate the progress of participants and program effectiveness, have at least a seventy-five per cent pass rate for residents taking the Part III exam of the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners within the most recent five-year period, and, in the board's determination, reasonably conform with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Institutional Requirements of the Essentials of Accredited Residencies in Graduate Medical Education: Institutional and Program Requirements, as revised effective September 1998, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Reasonable conformance means that, in applying such requirements, the podiatric medical equivalent should be substituted for references made to general medicine, as appropriate. For example, in regard to resident eligibility and selection, references to "graduates of medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education" should be interpreted as graduates of podiatric medical schools accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education and approved by the Podiatric Medical Board of California.
If a residency program falls below the specified seventy-five per cent pass rate, the board may grant the program approval if it determines after review of reports submitted by the program or the board's own site visit team that the program is in reasonable conformance with all applicable requirements.
