Podiatry in Colombia.
In the case of Colombia, the Ministry of Health and Social Protection does not recognize Podiatry as a medical-health branch. However, in 2016, the Colombian Society of Podiatrists (S.C.P.) was created to represent the profession legally and mediate with the relevant entities and authorities in matters related to this “specialty.” The S.C.P. was also designed to establish the foundations for professional Podiatry in Colombia. It was tasked with presenting the curriculum plan to the Ministries of Health and Education to approve a university degree for the profession. Initially, this degree would likely begin as a technical career before transitioning to a full university degree. Similarly, the S.C.P. was supposed to define professional competencies for approval by various ministries. However, it remains an unrecognized entity. In the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce, there is also little presence of businesses dedicated to Podiatry as a specialty, evident from the low number of registrations and high cancellation rate. Therefore, in Colombia, Podiatry is still considered a practice with a merely “aesthetic” focus, with several university institutions offering podiatric courses such as: ESCOLME University Institution (Antioquia), Politecnico Mayor (Antioquia), Universidad Americana de Europa (Bogotá D.C.), Corporación Universitaria Superior (Valle del Cauca), among others.
Podiatry in Venezuela.
Similar to Colombia, Venezuela also lacks a governmental body overseeing this practice, and even the Ministry of Popular Power for Health does not regulate it. Furthermore, there is no organization representing the interests of this profession, limiting it to courses offered by podiatrists who graduated abroad.
Podiatry in Ecuador.
In Ecuador, Podiatry is regulated by the Ministry of Public Health, and some institutions offer a technical degree in Podiatry. This program generally lasts two and a half years, and graduates obtain the title of "Superior Technologist in Podiatry." They are qualified to work in various settings, including: public and private healthcare institutions, hospitals, specialized clinics, geriatric services, sports injury clinics, and centers focusing on specialties like geriatrics, pediatric podiatry, minor surgeries, and biomechanics. Some institutions offering this program include: LIBERTAD Higher University Institute and the Bolivarian Higher Technological Institute.
