Amends TCA Title 63.
Tennessee SB2358 amends the scope of practice for podiatrists by allowing them to examine, diagnose, and treat soft tissue of the lower leg distal to the tibial tuberosity, expanding their practice beyond the previous limitation of soft tissue structures extending no higher than the distal tibial metaphyseal flair. This change affects licensed podiatrists in Tennessee and may impact the range of services they can provide to patients. Key provisions include the revised definition of the anatomical limits for treatment by podiatrists.
