2. What is a Podiatrist?

A doctor of podiatric medicine can be compared to a psychiatrist that works on diagnosing and successfully treating patients with mental health issues. The doctor of podiatric medicine however, has a singular focus, one that relates to the feet and ankles only. Further, a doctor of podiatric medicine has the same abilities that a doctor of Internal Medicine has in regard to writing prescriptions and the podiatrist is also fully capable of providing necessary surgery to patients.

A doctor of podiatric medicine is fully capable of treating disorders that deal with the skin area of the foot and ankle, foot/toenail disorders, cancer that may be affecting the foot or ankle region, birth defects and reparation of such defects, and bone injuries, injured tendons, as well as soft tissue injuries. Furthermore, a podiatrist is trained to treat bacterial infections of the foot or ankle, fungal infections of the foot and ankle, or other foot disorders that are the product of serious systemic diseases like AIDS, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, lupus, or diabetes.

A doctor of podiatric medicine possesses the full and complete knowledge to properly administer and prescribe oral medication. A podiatrist can also offer patients necessary injections for treatment, surgical procedures, and casting for broken bones. In addition, a podiatrist may treat a patient by teaching the patient how to do appropriate exercises to improve the condition he or she may be dealing with. Podiatrists can work alone or with a group, for themselves or for another medical entity. A promising salary is offered to the individual that successfully completes the necessary schooling to become a podiatrist.

3. The American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine

The American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine (AACPM) is an organization that defines the continued studied by the podiatrist. The AACPM is a group of colleges, hospitals and institutions that provide postdoctoral educational information and training – the training of a podiatrist is lifelong since there are always changes and advancements in the field of medicine.

The AACPM is responsible for a number of unique service programs within the community, all of which assist the podiatrist student or the successful doctor of podiatric medicine. The AACPM has established the DPM Mentor Network for the podiatric student so that the student can be properly matched with a podiatrist professional in the field, one that can serve as a mentor for the student as they work toward a career in podiatric medicine. In addition, to streamline the entrance into applicable schools, the organization is responsible for having developed AACPMAS: an application service which deals with all of the applications that must be processed for admittance into a podiatric schooling program. The AACPM will also assist students that have completed their fourth year of schooling with finding an appropriate place to fulfill his or her residency. Thus, the organization has a major role in the lives of podiatric students and professional podiatrists alike.

4. Education and the Podiatrist

In order to be considered for jobs as a podiatrist the individual musts complete the appropriate amount of schooling and become licensed. To enroll in an accredited school, at minimum the student will require a high school diploma or equivalency diploma. In addition, the student interested in studying podiatry must finish a total of 90 semester hours working as an undergraduate. The student is expected to uphold a set grade point average to be considered for a podiatry school, and the student will also need to successfully pass a Medical College Admission Test. Typically, a student podiatrist must finish four years of schooling in an accredited school offering a podiatric program. In addition to completing tee necessary schooling, the student will also be required to pass certain examinations by law – the examinations are offered as national and state examinations and have specific criteria for passing.

The student podiatrist will study a number of different subjects – while the podiatrist focuses on the feet and ankles in terms of treatment, there are many other factors that affect one’s feet and ankles that the student will need to learn about in order to successfully treat patients. Classes may include biology, anatomy, physics, English Composition, communication, oral communication, chemistry, organic chemistry, science, and math. Finally, in order to get into an accredited college the student must meet certain criteria. Competition is fierce and there are less than ten colleges in the United States that provide services related to the post doctoral training.
