Podiatrists

Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements

Certification or Licensing

There are three subspecialties of podiatric medicine recognized by the American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine: surgery, orthopedics, and primary care. Although any licensed podiatrist is considered qualified to address all areas of podiatric medicine, certification as a specialist in one of these three areas requires completion of specialized training. Contact national podiatric specialty boards, such as the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery or the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, for more information on specialty board certifications.
