• Working Conditions

  Most podiatrists are self-employed and are therefore free to set their own hours. They generally work regular office hours but, for the convenience of their patients, may work some evenings and weekends.

  Podiatrists spend part of their working hours standing, conducting examinations and treating patients, and the rest of their working hours sitting at a desk, consulting with patients and doing the required paperwork.
