Podiatrists go to 4 years of podiatry school and do a 3-year residency. They are actually real doctors and on the same level as MDs and DOs. They are required to pass board exams in podiatry.

Well, I wouldn't want a non-certified one working on me, and surely it would be illegal.

Yes of course, the human body is too often taken for granted & susceptible to wear and tear.
