University and Interuniversity Diplomas
Recognized qualifications include, for example, training in diabetology, sports podiatry, and posturology. However, these qualifications do not authorize professionals to present themselves under specific titles such as podiabetologist or sports podiatrist.
Recognition Process
To mention these additional diplomas, professionals must send a request to the National Council of the Order, accompanied by a certified copy of the diploma. The Training Commission will check whether the diploma appears on the official list. If the diploma is not recognized, it is possible to submit the diploma and the details of the training for review.
