A Podiatrist is a medication practitioner who deals with issues that affect the parts of the leg. They diagnose such issues and give medicine. Being that you are an aspiring podiatrist, how well do you know the type of medication to prescribe to your patients? Take this pharmacology quiz that has perfect questions on that and get to find out.
