Practice of podiatric medicine; provide certain requirements to perform specific surgeries.

SB 2670 (Mississippi) would allow licensed podiatrists to perform ankle surgery only if they meet specific requirements: completing a 24-month CPME-approved surgical residency, holding ABFAS certification for rearfoot/ankle surgery, and performing procedures listed in CPME guidelines. It requires all ankle surgery to occur in accredited Mississippi hospitals with appropriate surgical privileges. The bill directly affects podiatrists seeking to perform these specific ankle procedures within the state. The legislation died in committee on February 4, 2025, and was never enacted.
