Podiatrist
 Podiatry is a field of healthcare devoted to the study and treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and sometimes knee, leg and hip (collectively known as the lower extremity). The range of disorders of the lower extremity, which podiatry can address, is largely dependent on the scope of practice as per national, state, and/or provincial jurisdiction.
Podiatrists worldwide, regardless of educational pathways, treat a wide variety of foot and lower extremity conditions, through conservative or surgical approaches.
Amongst those subspecialties are such fields of practice as:
- Podopaediatrics (the study of children's foot and ankle conditions)
- Sports Medicine
- Diabetic foot and wound care
- Rheumatology
- Gerontology
- Reconstructive foot and ankle surgery
