Hi everyone, I'm graduating from residency in June of this year. Even though I love podiatry, and love the clinical aspect of it, a part of me wonders what else is available to me with a DPM degree. I've been looking into some non-clinical job sites, but most everything has a MD/DO requirement...

Hello. I am a premed student. Overall GPA of 3.4 and science of about 2.6. Not yet taken MCAT. I do have lots of patient hours, shadowing, community service, and research. Will be applying to MD schools in the Caribbean (from the big 4) and possibly podiatry schools in the US. Does it seem like...

Pod student here. I understand that DPM is an American degree with no guarantee of practice rights abroad (heck, there's no guarantee of practice rights state-to-state), but I would be very interested in working in Southern Europe seasonally if not full time. Does anyone have experience with...

WAMC? D.O. underdawg / considering podiatry. 3.34 cGPA (3.6 from degree-granting institutions) 3.09 sGPA (3.45 from degree-granting institutions) 503 MCAT (127/125/124 (CARS)/127); retaking for a shot at 510+ in June; confident I can get at least a 505. Story: Long-time lurker on SDN. MI...

Hey everyone! Let me start this by saying that I currently live in Southern California. In the future, I hope to match in California (hopefully Southern but Northern would be amazing as well). Before submitting my application, I visited WesternU for Preview Day where they talked about the...

Anyone else considering doing a DPM PhD. I couldn't choose between podiatry and PhD so I'm planning on choosing both but it seems like a lonely road. Interested in anyone's thoughts on it. Some questions like is it worth the length and difficulty? After doing the PhD portion I would be out of...

Thought I would share a list of some good Instagram accounts from pod-med influencers, official organizations, etc. to follow. Social media is an awesome way to connect with fellow students and doctors in the field, and also learn more about podiatric medicine & surgery in general (especially...

Hi everyone, I'm currently applying for Fall 2019 cycle, & saw that DMU doesn't except international applicants for the DPM program??? Whaaaaat lol I went to their website & this is what I found: NON-U.S. CITIZENS Applicants who are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent U.S. residents are not...

so an awkward thing happened to me this past week. I discovered podiatry. I mean, I rediscovered the path to podiatry this past week. Let me start off by saying there are so many reasons I want to be a physician. And NONE of them involve the letters at the end of my name. I have applied this...

Hi guys, same old question but I did not find a right answer for my sister's situation. Well, she has 3.0 cGPA and 2.85 science GPA with 18 MCAT score. She's a junior now and wants to apply next year, so she wants to know if she could a decent chance to get in a pod school. Seriously, this...

Since the application opens in 5 days, why not? Super excited to be applying this year!

So, aside an apart from this year where it seems that application numbers are down and regular admission standards may slightly differ, I would love to understand the notion that podiatry school is a cake walk in terms of acceptance. Of course, relative to an MD school, admission is a bit...

Does anybody know what a graduate from podiatry school is allowed to do in terms of practice in the state of Ohio without a residency program? Anywhere I can find this in writing? So far what I've heard is that a DPM without a residency can have the responsibilities of a medical assistant under...

So I've been thinking of doing the Dual Degree option and getting a Masters of Health Care Administration. I posted here to see what current practicing podiatrists and even residents think of this plan, if they wish they had done something like it, or regretted it, think it's a waste of money...

Hi everyone, I would DEEPLY appreciate responses regarding my career. I am almost 24 years old, and will finally receive my degree 1/03/2017 in Health Sciences. I still haven't taken Ochem, Physics, and Calculus. I was planning on becoming a PA, and thought it was my ABSOLUTE dream. However...

So, I am two years out of college. Have already graduated. With just below average MCAT scores and GPA (out of a 4.0 based system). My question is where should I go from here? I have not been in school due to working at a family business. I have applied to DPM programs and have had several...
