In addition to undergraduate school training, chiropodists may also attend graduate school for training in podiatric medicine. In Ontario, C hiropodists and podiatrists are regulated under the College of Chiropodists of Ontario, and are required to take provincial board exams as well as be licensed by the province in which they practice.  Chiropodists practice under the same scope of practice as Ontario Podiatrists and are treated on an equal basis as Ontario Podiatrists and at the same rate by Ontario Extended Health Insurance Plans.
