What
is Podiatry?
Podiatry
is a field of medicine that strives to improve the overall health and well-being of patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing,
and treating conditions associated with the foot and ankle. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs) are physicians and surgeons
who practice on the lower extremities, primarily on feet and ankles. The preparatory education of most DPMs includes four
years of undergraduate work, followed by four years in an accredited podiatric medical school, followed by a hospital-based
residency. DPMs are licensed in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to diagnose and treat the foot and
its related or governing structures by medical, surgical, or other means. The vast majority of states also include ankle care
as part of the podiatric physician's scope of practice.
In
addition to private practice, podiatrists serve on the staffs of hospitals and long-term care facilities, on the faculties
of schools of medicine, as commissioned officers in the Armed Forces and the US Public Health Service, in the Department of
Veterans Affairs, and in municipal health departments. Many podiatrists today are also members of group medical practices.
The skills of podiatric physicians are in increasing
demand because disorders of the foot and ankle are among the most widespread and neglected health problems.
