Yes, but a podiatrist's scope of practice is defined state by state. In most, if not all states, podiatrists cannot prescribe medication for systemic diseases (insulin for Diabetes, beta blockers for hypertension, etc) because their scope of practice is limited to local manifestations of systemic diseases.
The one exception is during residency, when they train under medical doctors (MD's) and they have the same scope of practice as who they train under, so they can prescribe whatever the MD is able to prescribe.

NO. Only a psychiatrist may prescribe medication in the state of NJ. Because a psychiatrist is labeled as an M.D. whereas a psychologist is not.

Although, many believe there is a great chance this law will eventually change, not only for the state of NJ, but for most if not every state.
