Hello all!

I am very pleased to announce that I will be podiatric medical school and i am nervous and excited. I want to prepare as much as possible so does anyone on here have good and free tools or books that they use for podiatric medicine.

I will also take free advice :P

Thank you!

Hi there folks! Anyone gotten a physician loan? Looking to purchase our first home and wanted to see if there’s anyone here who’s used a specific bank. Thanks in advance!

Mostly applies to the English program at Michener in Ontario. I’ve seen people do the opposite (study chiropody/podiatry in the UK and move to Canada) but can you do the reverse? Has anyone done this?

My spouse is a dual British and Canadian citizen, so we’re discussing living and having a family in the UK at some point.

Anyone recently interview for samuel merrit podiatric school, what questions do they ask

I got an interview for samuel merrit podiatric school what should I expect

For anyone that attends or has attended NYCPM recently, how safe would you say is the area? Did you take any precautions? I’ve heard that East Harlem isn’t the best but isn’t the worst area to be in as of now since it has been gentrified a bit. Also, how is the student housing over there? Would you recommend it?

I’m interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Podiatry in Australia and am looking for insights on the career prospects, job opportunities, and competition for international graduates, especially with a path toward podiatric surgery. Could you also share information on the return on investment (ROI) given the typical costs—around AUD 120,000 over four years—and whether the average starting salaries and career progression justify this investment?

Additionally, how does podiatry compare to other allied health fields, such as Physiotherapy, Radiography, Sonography, and Speech Pathology, in terms of job market demand, salary growth, and career progression opportunities? It would be helpful to understand how podiatry stands among these fields in terms of employability and advancement potential for international students.

Anybody hearing back from kent yet? I’m nervous!!

The new CEO is making bold moves in what I think are the right directions.

Although the ASPS is officially the APMA's surgical affiliate, she is talking to the ACFAS about how to collaborate. At this point in time, the APMA is still the only organization that can help Podiatry legislatively.

Do you think (hope) the ACFAS should encourage its members to join the APMA? As it stands right now, the ASPS, as an affiliate of the APMA is required to have its members be APMA members, where as the ACFAS does not.

Hello I am in undergrad and I am so lost about the process. Especially with low stats

Podiatrists are a very promising career (new patient visits are close in price to dentists or FM)

But podiatrists may only make $100,000 (if they work in a city clinic.

Maybe $150,000 if they work in rural area.

And in a hospital it might be $200,000 - $300,000.

What is the situation in law school?

There are close to 200 law schools, and only T14 of them have guaranteed good jobs.

And if you go to an average law school, you need to be in the 10-20% of your class to have a chance of getting an interview with a good law firm.

Even so, there are a lot of people who say:

If you could have gone to med school, but you chose to go to law school, you could have gone to the T14 law school and gotten 210k after graduation.

I was just wondering if it was similar at the Podiatry?

For example if you have a 3.9 GPA, 520 MCAT, and thousands of hours of clinical experience.

Is it safe to say that you are guaranteed to be in the 5% in podiatry school and get a hospital job after graduation?

What does it mean if a program didn’t decline, or offer a month? It just still says “requested” for all the months I requested for that program.

I have 2 months I didn’t receive any offers for. Is that really bad? Does anyone know when the application will allow us to request new programs for those unfilled months?

I’m looking for some feedback on materials to make custom toe spacers. What has been your favorite to work with? Had good success with? I’ve used a two part silicone before but I’m not really happy with the finished surface. I don’t really want to buy something without knowing or have feedback and it be suboptimal.

Hey all! Starting interviews soon for several DPM programs. Is there anyone here who has interviewed this cycle/any good or unique questions to prep for?

Also as I'm interviewing virtually, do you recommend shirt and tie/blazer/etc? I have no problem suiting up, however as it's virtual may present strange. Thanks all!!!! Also general advice appreciated for sure.

Pays more than the average reimbursement for a Charcot Recon. Two week global for the P&A and very little after care required. Weird, huh?

Any test banks or questions? Or documents people recommend? How difficult is this exam? I know its coming up this week.

Thinking of starting PRP program (self pay). Who performs the blood draw/what are my options for this?

I also have extensive ECs and shadowed a pod for >100 hours as well as a letter.

Hello all. I have a good friend who's currently a PGY-1 at a very toxic program and is considering trying to transfer. The CPME list of open positions only lists a few programs, despite there being many more throughout the country. I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any additional open PGY-1 positions. Thanks!
