What are the board specialties in Podiatry?
There are two recognized certifying boards for podiatry. The purpose of board certification is two-fold. Board certification primarily recognizes a level of achievement. For most examinations candidates must prepare cases, sit for written and then oral examinations to become a Diplomate of a board. In effect these are doctors who have chosen a sub-specialty. Although completion of a board does not guarantee competency, it does acknowledge that that candidate has been judged by peers to have a fund of knowledge and competence in a particular area of practice.
