The Arizona Podiatric Medicine Program offers a four year course of study leading to the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree. Maximum time for completion of the degree is six years. Courses in the clinical sciences are integrated with basic science courses during the first two years of the curriculum. Clinical courses continue through the summer and part of the fall quarter of the third year. Full time clinical training occupies eight months of the third year and all of the fourth year. The overall goal of the Program is to prepare the finest possible podiatric physicians for entry into residency training. Dual degree programs are available in Medical Ethics and Medical Education.
