Podiatry is a clinical discipline that is practiced in many different countries around the world. Just what a podiatrist can do in each country is determined by the laws of that country, abd the scope of practice in that country and the nature or length of the training. Podiatry in the USA is now almost exclusively postgraduate degree with a 2-3 year residency following that, but they have full medical and surgical rights to treat the foot and related problems. Podiatry in the UK and Australia is still an undergraduate degree and they can get registered to practice as a podiatrist after that. However, their scope of practice is only limited to minor surgical procedures of teh toenails. After that they can enter a postgraduate surgical training program while working as a podiatrist to gain teh surgical qualification. In other countries, such as Europe, podiatry is only a 2-3 year course and practice is much more limited than in other countries due to legislation. Podiatry in New Zealand and South Africa are 3 year undergraduate degrees like in the UK and Australia. Podiatry in Canada has a mixture of approaches. Some provinces allowing Australia and UK graduates to work, but other requires the DPM qualification from the USA.
