Pre Podiatry at Loras

Students interested in podiatry should take the list of courses shown as prerequisites for medical school as shown on that webpage.  Students need a GPA of 3.2 or higher to be competitive applicants for podiatry school upon graduation.  There is evidence that the demand for podiatrists will increase in the next 10-20 years as more people get older and they try to stay more active.  This combination will lead to more podiatrists treating foot and lower extremity problems.

Critical Factors for Admission:

• Shadowing several different podiatrists is very important.  Students will gain insights on common and uncommon foot ailments as well as direct patient contact and one-on-one conversations with practicing physicians. 
• Most students need to take the general GRE or MCAT as the admissions test for podiatry school.
