Description

The California Board of Podiatric Medicine (BPM) licenses and regulates Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs). Though functioning semi-independently as other boards within the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), BPM is part of the Medical Board of California (B&P Code §2460) and it is MBC that officially issues licenses to this small specialty group of about 2,000 independent practitioners upon the "recommendation" of BPM (B&P §§ 2479, 2486 & 2488).
