Podiatry schools

Podiatry schools are specialized programs that train students to become podiatrists, healthcare professionals focused on diagnosing and treating foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions. These programs typically include undergraduate coursework followed by a four-year Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree. Training covers anatomy, biomechanics, surgery, and patient care. Graduates must pass licensing exams to practice. Podiatrists work in hospitals, clinics, or private practices, providing comprehensive care ranging from routine foot health to complex surgical interventions. The education emphasizes both medical knowledge and hands-on clinical experience to ensure safe, effective treatment for foot and ankle issues.
