1 Podiatric Surgery PhD Degree Programs

A study program in podiatric surgery generally seeks to increase the skills and knowledge of new or practicing healthcare professionals as it pertains to the treatment of the lower limbs. Students often learn advanced surgical procedures and do research on damage to the cells and tissues of the feet.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
