Why are you interested in podiatry?
"I like doing surgery, and I especially like the fact that the surgery done will determine whether someone can walk or not. Ambulation is important as a significant factor in well-being, and podiatry allows me to fix simple things immediately and complex things, although taking longer, with resolution of a serious problem."
"Each foot has 26 bones, 30 joints and over 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. I consider it a marvel of evolution, because they all work together to support the rest of the entire body, balance it, and move it. I know you can consider any part of the body as crucial and valuable, but for me it's the foot because of what it does for the rest of the body and our mobility in life."
You should answer this as Podiatry being your first choice, not something you fell back on as a second choice. (Some do!) You should show your enthusiasm for the science and the specialty itself.
"I've always been impressed by the mechanical function of the foot, which is very complex and crucial in our orientation in space and for movement from one place to another. Podiatry offers this unique perspective of care."
