Regarding M.D.,D.O., and DPM

Our members don't see this ad.
Hey everyone. Just joined the site so please bear with me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about. lol

There is allopathic, osteopathic, and podiatry correct?

My question is this: Does a Podiatric school = A medical school? I've read some sites saying different answers and I thought I should confirm here.

Thanks

Yes as a doctor of podiatry you can treat anything an MD can. It is your right. Since you are officially a doctor.

I've worked with Podiatrists and the ones I've known are excellent surgeons.
Their scope is limited to "below the knee."

Kronos seems cranky.

Podiatrists can ONLY treat feet (or below the knee). That's it. There is no chance for them to do anything else.

Allopaths and Osteopaths are full physicians, and have unlimited scope of practice.

In a nutshell, there's your difference.
