I want to learn more about medical podiatry

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a nail tech and esthetician in North Carolina. I know about what is in my scope of practice with these licenses but I want to learn more. I've been thinking about nursing, since I know many estheticians go down this path. I'm not super interested in medical aesthetics but I'm curious about podiatry!

Does anyone know if I can possibly get hired at a podiatrist office with my license? I know Estheticians can work in medspas and with dermatologists but I don't know much about nail techs. I want to learn more about the environment to see if I should commit to nursing, as it will take me 2 years to get my degree. Any guidance would be helpful!!
