Abstract
Podiatry is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Podiatrists are defined as physicians by the U.S. federal government and in most U.S. States. The term podiatry came into use first in the early 20th century United States, where it now denotes a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), a specialist who is qualified by the education and training to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg. Within the field of podiatry, practitioners can focus on many different specialty areas, including surgery, sports medicine, biomechanics, geriatrics, pediatrics, orthopedics, or primary care. In January of 2011, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) publicly launched the Today's Podiatrist campaign, which aims to educate the public, medical professionals, and students about the education and training of today's podiatrist. Podiatry is practiced as a specialty in many countries including Australia, Brunei, Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In many English-speaking countries, the older title of "chiropodist" may still be used by some clinicians but is gradually falling out of use. In many non-English-speaking countries of Europe, the title used instead of podiatrist may be "podologist" or "Podólogo". The level and scope of the practice of podiatry varies among countries. Podiatry is a very high paying job and was listed by Forbes as the 15th best paid profession in the United States.
