First off, medical school is different from podiatry school in that there are only 9 podiatry schools in the United States versus the approximately 160 medical schools. To begin the journey to become a podiatrist one must first finish 4 years of undergraduate education. Then comes applying to podiatry school. Acceptance is based on undergraduate GPA, involvement, Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) score, and if offered, a day-long interview at the podiatry school. Upon acceptance, the length of podiatry school is four years, which is the equivalent to medical school. During the first two or three years (time dependent based on podiatry school), the general book learning is completed; this book studying is not just about the feet, but rather about a wide range of subjects.
