Expand/CollapseHISTORICAL NOTE

The Board of Chiropody, now the Board of Podiatric Medicine, was created by the legislature in 1917 for the purpose of licensure of chiropodists, regulating the right to practice and defining the scope of practice. In 1959 the term podiatry became synonymous in meaning with the word chiropody and in 1961 was substituted throughout the practice act. In 1987 a new practice act became law, establishing requirements for licensure. Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) are licensed to diagnose and treat medically, mechanically, and surgically the ailments of the human hand, foot, ankle, and lower leg.
