School of Podiatric Medicine

Schedule your 1:1 Meeting

What is Podiatric Medicine?

Podiatric medicine refers to the branch of medicine that is devoted to the diagnosis, treatment and care of disorders of the foot, ankle and related structures. A podiatrist is a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM). Podiatrists are often the first to recognize arthritis, diabetes, and heart disease, skin disease, neurological ailments — all conditions that can affect the lower extremities. As a podiatrist, you can expect to be well trained to diagnose, treat, operate on, and prescribe medications for any disease, injury, deformity, or other condition of the foot or ankle. A career in podiatry offers the opportunity to specialize in many branches of podiatric medicine.

The Profession

Salary/ Professional Benefits  

Podiatric medicine is a wonderful and flexible career path. With an average annual salary of $181,000, podiatrists enjoy an excellent work-life balance. According to the 2019 Podiatry Management annual survey, 62% of podiatrists work regular 40-hour weeks. In addition, podiatrists will always be in high demand, considering foot care is critical for the aging population. 

Professional Expectations 

Doctors of podiatric medicine (DPM) are in-demand physicians and surgeons who are trained with four years of schooling and a three-year, hospital-based residency to treat the foot and ankle. DPMs are in high demand — there is only one DPM per 20,000 Americans and 8 in 10 Americans experience foot problems that require their care. 

Specialty Boards and Professional Associations

Certification in specialty boards in podiatric medicine testifies to the qualifications of podiatric physicians in their field. Getting certified by a board assures that the physician meets the highest level of achievement and skill to treat foot and ankle pathologies in that specialty area. There are several that you can join such as the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM), American Board of Podiatric Surgery (ABFAS), American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS), or American Board of Wound Management (ABWM). Podiatrists can also serve on academic boards such as the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine (AACPM), the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners (NBPME) or the Council on Teaching Hospitals (COTH).
