Podiatry in OntarioIn Ontario, podiatrists are a class of members of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. To practise as a podiatrist in Ontario, one must hold a "Doctor of Podiatric Medicine/DPM" degree from one of the nine Colleges of Podiatric Medicine in the United States, or from the podiatry program offered by the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières campus. |
Podiatry & ChiropodyOne of the questions the OPMA and individual podiatrists are most frequently asked is "What is the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist?". We are the first to admit that there is justification for confusion given that both are regulated under the same College, but in fact there are important differences between podiatrists and chiropodists. The distinctions are important. |
