    Bachelor Programs in Podiatry

    A bachelor's degree is one of the most basic degrees available in tertiary education. It typically requires three to five years of study to complete. Students may use this undergraduate degree to find a job or use it as a jumping-off point for going to medical school.
    What is a Bachelor in Podiatry? Also known as chiropody, the study and medical care of feet dates back to at least the time of the ancient Egyptians. Modern practitioners are licensed doctors in most industrialized areas. Podiatry treats all maladies of the lower extremities, including minor issues such as fallen arches and major problems such as severe injury. Specializations may include athletic podiatry and senior foot care.
    As with most medically related fields, podiatry programs will teach students time-management skills so they can maximize their day. They generally also learn examination techniques and interpersonal skills to help them work with others.
    The cost of attending a podiatry program can vary significantly from institution to institution. Depending on the country and university, students may be able to find scholarships or loans to assist them in paying the course fees. School websites often have more information regarding tuition.
    For graduates interested in getting their medical degrees, doctors in podiatry can work as clinical podiatrists, medical researchers, or foot and ankle surgeons. If graduates would prefer not to go to medical school, some senior-care facilities hire foot-care specialists to assist with the management of their clients' lower extremities. Sports organizations are also beginning to hire foot and ankle specialists to keep their athletes in top shape.
    For those seeking to graduate from a podiatry program, there are many distinguished institutions offering enrollment opportunities. It may even be possible to find part-time classes for students who have work or family commitments.
