<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><br>
Podiatry is a field of medicine that strives to improve the overall health and
well-being of patients by focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating
conditions associated with the foot and ankle. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine
(DPMs) are physicians and surgeons who practice on the lower extremities,
primarily on feet and ankles. The preparatory education of a DPM includes four
years of undergraduate work, with four years in a podiatric medical school,
followed by a hospital-based residency.<br>
