Can a podiatrist prescribe medication?
Yes, but a podiatrist's scope of practice is defined state by state. In most, if not all states, podiatrists cannot prescribe medication for systemic diseases (insulin for diabetes, beta blockers for hypertension, etc) because their scope of practice is limited to local manifestations of systemic diseases. The one exception is during residency, when they train under medical doctors (MD's) and they have the same scope of practice as who they train under, so they can prescribe whatever the MD is able to prescribe.
