All 14,000 podiatrists in the US graduated from a four-year program, but few serve an internship or residency as physicians do. Some states allow podiatrists to treat the ankle and leg as well as the foot, while others do not, sometimes raising a conflict between a podiatrist's state of training and of practice. Certification, referrals, and testimony are explored.Citation DetailsTitle: Targeting the Achilles Heel of podiatric medical negligence.Author: Charles F., III FentonPublication: Trial (Magazine/Journal)Date: June 1, 1996Publisher: Association of Trial Lawyers of AmericaVolume: 32 Issue: n6 Page: 40(7)Distributed by Thomson GaleTargeting the Achilles Heel of podiatric medical negligence.: An article from: Trial
