Citan Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Except UQTR (University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières), in Quebec. The difference is: You'll have to deal with the convoluted cote R system (where a 90 can be considered non competitive if this mark isn't above of the average of your class). Also, the role of a Doctor of Podiatric medicine in Canada is quite dumbed down I'm afraid. After graduating from a podiatric school in the US, for example, you get to perform orthopedic surgeries. You can't do that after graduating from UQTR. (only minor surgeries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francisfleming Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Podiatrist performing a bunionectomy and hammertoe correction surgery on a young female patient."While the majority of podiatric physicians are in solo practice, there has been a movement toward larger group practices as well as the use of podiatrists in multi-specialty groups including orthopedic groups, treating diabetes, or in multi-specialty orthopedic surgical groups"..

Shelley Watson Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 In order to pursue a career in podiatric medicine, at least a four year bachelor's degree of undergraduate studies is necessary for getting an admission to accredited podiatric schools. You also need to pass the Medical College Admission Test or the Graduate Record Exam before admissions. Like other post-graduate medical careers, this field for podiatrists is highly competitive, so there is a lot of scopes for you to do well.

pjaycu Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 In Canada, there is one podiatric medical school in Canada based in Trois-Rivieres the Universite de Quebec a Trois-Rivieres (UQTR) in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec provides a four year program that is patterned substantially on the U.S., podiatric medicine programs and on the standards of accreditation of the Council on Podiatric Medical Education. For more information about the program, visit http://www.uqtr.ca/ Upon completion, graduates obtain their Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree. Comprehensive Board exams as well as provincial licensing exams must then be passed before being licensed to practice. Students must also complete hospital-based residency programs of 1-3 years duration. The process of DPM is like any other Medical courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
