This Podiatric Privileges Request Form must be accompanied or preceded by a completed application for medical staff appointment, including the necessary supporting documents. Many clinical privileges pertinent to the practice of podiatry and podiatric surgery are listed below. This list contains both outpatient and inpatient items, and the request for privileges must reflect both the applicant's and the facility’s/staff’s ability to carry out or support the various functions.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FORM

Applicant: With a check mark in the appropriate location, indicate for each item, if you are requesting privileges. Be sure to sign the request as indicated on page 3.

Discipline-specific supervisor or consultant: Indicate your recommendation for each requested clinical privilege by placing a check mark in the appropriate location. Please explain any recommended limitations or denial of privileges on an attached sheet. Your recommendations are considered by the governing body when granting or not granting privileges.

Note: Any patient admitted to an IHS hospital for inpatient podiatric surgery or care must, by prior agreement, have an admission history and physical exam done by a physician member of that hospital’s medical staff. Any medical problems present on admission and any which occur during the hospital stay must be managed by that physician or his/her physician designee. Any patient undergoing outpatient podiatric surgery in any IHS facility must likewise be under the care of one of that facility’s physician members of the medical staff for medical needs.
