Podiatrists: They don’t just cut toenails…

A common misconception among the public is that a Podiatrists job is to solely (pun not intended) cut toenails and shave away dead skin. If this is what you think, that’s ok! After all, the podiatry profession evolved from “chiropody”, an occupation that did not require a university degree, and only dealt with nail and skin issues. However, in 1977, the term “chiropody” was retired and podiatry took over.
