Since we are discussing feet I’d like to ask a question that’s been bothering me for some time. Why was the position of podiatry created? Why couldn’t there just be orthopedics who specialize in feet just like there are orthopedists who specialize in hands, shoulders, knees etc… Podiatrists don’t go to traditional med school, they go to podiatry school.
They actually go to medical school and then specialize in podiatry (residency, interenship) if they so choose
