I'm new on this board. I am going to shadow two seperate private practice podiatrists next week. My question is what should I expect to see in their daily routine?
I know what it's like going to a family physician (you get your vitals checked and then go into the doctors office to discuss problems). I know that in an optometry office you come in and have preliminary eye checkup by an assistant and then meet with the optometrist who checks you out further. But all of this is from personal experience as a patient.
I've never experienced a podiatry office before and was wondering what is routinely done with patients as they come in for appointmets. What are the most common procedures performed? I'm interested in podiatry from discussion with friends and am excited to finally be able to shadow a few doctors and make my final decision on whether I'll be applying this fall.
