Podiatrist vs orthodedic surgeon

Dr. may I please ask–Surgically speaking, what is the difference between a podiatrist and an orthopedic surgeon. (Im considering bunion surgery). Do they get the same training, residency, experience …prior to performing foot surgery?? I’m very confused. A few people say, “Dont to to a podiatrist, go to an orth …a few say, go to my podiatrist for your bunion surgery. I’m just wondering about the difference. Would you please discuss the differences.
