 Employment
Podiatrists hold about 12,000 jobs in the
United States. About 24 percent of podiatrists are self-employed. Most
podiatrists are solo practitioners, although more are entering group
practices with other podiatrists or other health practitioners. Solo
practitioners primarily are unincorporated self-employed workers,
although some also are incorporated wage and salary workers in offices
of other health practitioners. Other podiatrists are employed by
hospitals, long-term care facilities, the Federal Government, and
municipal health departments.
