Except UQTR (University of Quebec in Trois-Rivières), in Quebec. The difference is: You'll have to deal with the convoluted cote R system (where a 90 can be considered non competitive if this mark isn't above of the average of your class).

Also, the role of a Doctor of Podiatric medicine in Canada is quite dumbed down I'm afraid. After graduating from a podiatric school in the US, for example, you get to perform orthopedic surgeries. You can't do that after graduating from UQTR. (only minor surgeries)

The general questions are very necessary and their answer must be known to all students.

In order to pursue a career in podiatric medicine, at least a four year bachelor's degree of undergraduate studies is necessary for getting an admission to accredited podiatric schools. You also need to pass the Medical College Admission Test or the Graduate Record Exam before admissions. Like other post-graduate medical careers, this field for podiatrists is highly competitive, so there is a lot of scopes for you to do well.

True-the education is also 90% french. But you can still practice in BC or Alberta after completing a US 3-yr residency. The scope of practice in these provinces is similar to that of the US.
