Discover Podiatric Medicine at KSUCPM
As a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), you’ll make a profound impact on patients’ lives, offering compassionate care and innovative treatment.
Podiatric medicine is a specialized branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating and preventing conditions affecting the foot, ankle and related structures of the leg. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), also known as podiatric physicians, undergo extensive training in both medical and surgical interventions specific to the lower extremities.
Podiatric medicine is considered a gem among medical specialties as the practicing physician is both a clinician and surgeon. After completing four years of preparatory podiatric medical education, the newly graduated DPM will complete a three-year hospital-based surgical residency. From pediatric care to athletes at various levels, from trauma cases to diabetic neuropathy, from conservative treatments to advanced reconstructive surgery, KSUCPM prepares podiatric medical students to excel in diverse healthcare scenarios.
