What Is a Podiatrist? Are Podiatrists Certified?
A podiatrist is a doctor who practices podiatric medicine, a medical specialty dealing with conditions affecting the foot and ankle.
Podiatrists complete four years of education in a podiatric medical school followed by residency training, which is similar to other physicians. Following this training, a podiatrist is qualified in a number of different areas such as surgery, sports medicine and diabetic foot care.
Podiatrists earn board certification with advanced training, experience and examination. Dr. Nicholas Tabor, DPM is certified by the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Primary Podiatric Medicine, and the American Board of Podiatric Surgery.
