Podiatrists provide medical and surgical care for people suffering foot, ankle and lower leg problems. They diagnose illnesses, treat injuries, and perform surgery. Podiatrists treat calluses, ingrown toenails, heel spurs and arch problems. They also treat foot and leg problems associated with diabetes and other diseases.
The Pre-Podiatry program at UNK is designed to fulfill the admission requirements at most podiatry schools, but students should check with the specific schools to which they intend to apply to ensure that all requirements are met.
A minimum of 90 semester hours are required for admission at most podiatry schools. However, the majority of students entering podiatry school have a baccalaureate degree. Pre-Podiatry program is intended to be completed concurrently with a bachelor's degree.

He credits his success in his career to his experience at UNK. “The interactions in the classroom and campus would help me succeed in any career, but currently allow better communication with patients, which is critical in their healthcare.”
