United States
Podiatric medical education in the United States consists of four (4) years of graduate education with the first two focusing primarily upon the sciences and the last two focusing upon didactic, clinical, and hospital externship experience. After successful completion of these four (4) years of professional education, students are granted a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) degree. A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine is considered a medical doctor of the foot and ankle and receives an education very similar to that of a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). Podiatric Surgeons who have completed a 3 year surgical residency can expect to make an average salary of $250,000 a year while their non surgical counterparts can expect to earn significantly less. Average salaries across the profession vary greatly due to the large number of specializations from which Doctors of Podiatric medicine can potentially choose.
