Podiatry Education
All students entering a College of Podiatric Medicine must have a Bachelor of Science or higher degree and must achieve the required results in the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The podiatry curriculum spans four years at an accredited College of Podiatric Medicine in the United States, where students study courses in all basic medical sciences.
In the final two years, emphasis is placed on disorders affecting the foot and ankle and their various types of treatment. These courses are coordinated with clinical training in various university teaching hospitals. Upon completion, graduates obtain their Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) degree. Comprehensive board exams as well as provincial licensing exams must then be passed before being licensed to practice.
Dr. Crosby has completed eight years of university-level education (four years for his Bachelor of Science, followed by another four years of specialized podiatric medical education).
