What's in a name? Why the proposed title change for podiatric surgeons is a step backward.
The Australian Podiatry Board's proposal to change the title 'podiatric surgeon' to 'surgical podiatrist' lacks evidence and is contrary to broader healthcare reform agendas. The current title 'podiatric surgeon' reflects scope of practice. Instead of a title change, regulators should focus on removing barriers to effective collaborative care.
