I am an international undergraduate student interested in Podiatry but I am encountering a lot of problems, I hope to get some advice here. Can I know what does a podiatrist does exactly? I saw online on forums stating that this field is not as good as it portrays. Many were saying that there is no demand and there were no job opportunities as people would consult doctors instead of podiatrist yet some were saying that the demand will be high in the future. Besides, where does a podiatrist works? Is a podiatrist a doctor? As some were saying that a podiatrist will be called a doctor. Will there be many job opportunities if I were to study only until Masters? Is it necessary to study until I obtain a doctorate? Can I know more about the course? The forums I saw online are making me worried that I will be jobless when I graduate. Is it a wise choice to opt for Podiatry compared to Psychology? I am having conflicts between this two courses. Lastly, can I know which are the better universities to study Podiatry as an undergraduate?
