A Podiatrist is a physician or surgeon of the foot and ankle, and is licensed to diagnose and treat ailments of the human functional foot and ankle.
Individuals who want to practice podiatry in Montana must apply to the Montana Board of Medical Examiners for licensure. Podiatrists who plan to do surgery of the foot and ankle are required to obtain an ankle surgery certificate. (See Podiatrist Ankle Surgery Certificate application form in the "Forms" tab at left.)
Applicants applying for a Podiatrist license or ankle surgery certification must meet the educational and testing requirements set by Montana law or in administrative rule.
