Читать книгу Start & Run a Medical Practice - Michael Clifford Fabian - Страница 19

It is often very difficult to tell the difference between a podiatrist and medical doctors who specialize in disorders of the foot. Podiatric physicians undergo training similar to medical doctors, but their schooling is more focused on feet. They perform many procedures on nails, toes, and feet including some surgical procedures, which are performed by surgeons as well, particularly orthopedic surgeons.

Podiatrists usually practice in an office setting, most procedures are performed on out-patients. The set up and running of a podiatric office would be indistinguishable from a medical office.
