Podiatry
The professional education of a podiatrist is obtained at one of the seven Colleges of Podiatric Medicine in the U.S., where the curriculum typically takes four years to complete. Students graduate as a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM). Most graduates seek an optional internship or residency program.
Each podiatry school has a set of prerequisites that must be completed (with letter grades) before admission to that school. For a complete list of podiatry schools and their prerequisites, consult the handbook:
