What is Podiatry?

Podiatry is the branch of the practice of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders, deformities, diseases, and injuries of the human foot, ankle, and leg. Treatment can be by medical, mechanical or surgical means.

A Podiatrist Physician (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) has typically completed 3-4 years of undergraduate education, plus four years of Podiatric Medical college and an additional 1-4 years of post-graduate training in an approved residency program before entering private practice.
