Hey guys! Totally off topic from anything on this forum, but here I go.
I was having a conversation with my uncle in the US who is a podiatrist. And I got kind of interested in what he does (foot surgery). So i decided to investigate podiatry in Canada. From what I read, I think there is no such thing as podiatry in Canada, but rather its chiropody?
Im kind of confused, because my uncle said he did four years of UG, then went to a four year Podiatric medicine school, then did residency.
Are US Podiatrists like doctors? Because in Canada, if im not mistaken you can be a chiropodist almost right out of highschool by going to College. Is the US version of "chiropody" something totally different.
I would love to know, It kinda interests me that Canada has chiropody(which doesnt require much schooling) and US has a long and intensive podiatry medicine.
Anyways, reply if you know anything
Thanks
Happy Holidays !
