(2) is licensed to practice podiatry in another state that has licensing requirements substantially equivalent to those established by this state; and

(3) otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 202.252.

(b) For purposes of Subsection (a)(1), a course of study, training, or education is considered to be approved or accredited if it is approved or accredited by the department as constituting a reputable course of study, training, or education. In deciding whether to approve or accredit a course of study, training, or education, the department shall consider whether the course is approved or accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education of the American Podiatric Medical Association or its successor organization.

(c) Except for the examination requirement, an applicant for a license under this section must comply with all application, license, and license renewal requirements relating to podiatry and is subject to all laws relating to the practice of podiatry.

(d) A license issued under this section permits the practice of podiatry only for purposes of instruction in the educational institution.

(e) A license issued under this section terminates when the faculty appointment of a podiatrist licensed under this section is terminated. This section does not:

(1) prohibit the podiatrist from applying for and obtaining a license; or

(2) affect a license obtained by the podiatrist by complying with Section 202.254 and other applicable laws relating to the practice of podiatry.
