podiatry

Hello All! Just a question that I'm curious about - but can't find an answer too. So I know that Standard Physicians trained internationally can apply for residencies in the US and become licensed, and generally, internationally trained dentists cannot (they have to restart dental school)...

ABPM released a new app available on iOS and Android which has practice test questions from the old bank. It also includes a handy guide of reference ranges for common labs, x-ray angles, and biomechanical findings. Link to app: The American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) Future updates...

When I was at a pod interview with a school in the Midwest, they seemed it was necessary to let me know that one of the other two schools associated with a DO school (Western U and AZPod) does not have their own college but is under the College of Health Sciences. As well they stated that they...

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...

I figure it would be a good time to start one of these. I'm a third year resident in a university based program accepted into a fellowship after graduation. My clinical interests are functional limb preservation/salvage, diabetic limb, osteo, charcot, etc also with strong research interests as a...

Just thought I'd make a thread for all my future AZpod classmates!!

I'm excited to see where everyone will end up for residency! Good luck!

So, I am heading to pod school this August and have shadowed podiatrists in private practice and I really like that aspect of the job but my dream would be to work in a hospital setting. How difficult is it to land a hospital job as a DPM? When i look online on websites like apma.org or doccafe...

Hi, I'm currently a member of the class of 2020 at KSUCPM. I know that some of my classmates have been active on this forum throughout the year posting about their experiences but I wanted to post a new thread to give anyone who's looking at schools now a chance to ask any questions regarding...

I am currently trying to decide between these three schools and am not sure what to do. I really like all three schools but just want to get input from current student what the pros and cons between each school is.

Hi everyone! I've been a long time lurker but I need a little help. Biomedical engineer here, working in a biomaterials lab that specializes in bioactive glass. I'm working on developing new bone cement or bioactive glass and I'm trying to gear it towards foot and ankle surgery application. I...

How is sGPA calculated for Pod School? Does it include math and statistics? How are retakes counted?

In the AACPMAS>>>Other Information>>> It asked if I have had "Previous Attendance to Health Profession Program". I selected "yes" and explained that I have graduated from an Athletic Training Program (and now Practicing), which is a Health Professional degree, being that ATC's are allied health...

All my transcripts have been received, but I have yet to submit my application. However, the schools I am applying to say "In Progress". Does this allow the schools to a preliminary review of my application or not?

Are there any advantages or disadvantages for being a nontraditional pods applicant?

Hello, so I happen to have a 3.2 cGPA from repeating two courses in which I obtained a C in each and then came out to a B+ and A after retaking. The application service showed I only have a 2.65 cGPA. Does podiatry schools take grade replacements or am I to repeat some of the lower end courses...

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...

Hey everyone! I am interested in applying to podiatry school for the 2017 year. I have yet to take the MCAT, and am not planning on taking it until after the fall semester since I am taking a few science classes that will be covered on the MCAT (biochem, cell bio, and genetics) during that time...

Hi, I'm going to be applying to Pod schools for the 2017 cycle and I'm wondering about the science GPA calculations. I know they calculate biology, math, chemistry and physics. However I have taken some "biology" classes at my school, but not in the biology department. I have taken anatomy and...

I've narrowed my schools down to CSPM, NYCPM, Scholl, Kent and Barry I specifically would like to know how Kent and Barry would compare to each other since they are not in big cities like SF, Chicago, or NYC. I know clinicals are relatively the same for both with 7 or 8 month externships but...

i am a MBBS dergree holder residing in Mauritius and I'm completing my internship to get my registration at the medical council of Mauritius itself. After that, I wish to specialize in podiatry. Do I have to start anew to become podiatrist or is it possible to specialize as DPM with background...

Hey everyone! Match is just a few days away and I thought it would be cool to start a thread and see where everyone is going. Monday can't come soon enough! Good luck to you all. :soexcited::claps::zip::corny::highfive::luck:

With match date coming soon I wanted to ask the following question: are Canadians eligible for J1 sponsorship? I researched this but I am not so certain that this is possible for podiatry. 1) I emailed Health Canada about statement of need and they told me flat out that podiatry is not one of...

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...

Hey Guys, I was curious with the new VA bill passing for podiatrists to be considered physicians now, how will that affect our pay grade in the VA system and will that effect the HSCP scholarships if we joined the Navy/Army etc. Thanks

Hello, New to the forum... I recently decided on podiatry as a career option. I just completed my 2o hours of podiatry schadowing. I graduated from a competitive ivy league school. Currently taking a gap year working at a big pharma company. My stats are as follows: Sci gpa: 3.40 Non-sci: 3.62...

I have noticed that the pass rates at CSPM is lower than the other podiatry schools. Is there a reason? Should I be worried? I was accepted at Scholl, CSPM and wait listed at Midwestern. CSPM was my number one choice, but their pass rates are just iffy.

Hey guys, So here is my situation: Plan to retake MCAT -- not scoring any higher than first time around. Applied and got interviews and acceptances at Kent and Barry; waitlisted for an interview at Midwestern. I had NYCPM and Scholl on hold for my new score. Is it a bad idea to not go through...

Hi everyone, I was just looking for some info. I attended podiatry school and ended up deciding to switch to a DO program instead, due to becoming interested in other specialties as well. I have 3.5 gpa and an above average mcat for accepted students. I was just wondering if I had to report...

I have 29 MCAT score and 3.98 GPA. I was successfully able to get into a DO school. But in spite of so much shadowing experience I did not like medicine at all. In fact I am hating clinicals and Anatomy. Basically, I am finding the curriculum too overwhelming. So could you guys please let me...

I recently was arrested for petit theft. It is my fist offense and my charges will be dropped after I finish an intervention program but I am applying to school within the new few months. I am wondering what my chances are of getting into podiatry school? Anyone have experience with a criminal...

Hi I just found this SDN podiatry forum, so please bear with me :) I started becoming interested in podiatry not too long ago, so I am relatively new to the field. I will start shadowing a podiatrist starting this month. I wanted to apply for the Fall 2016 entering class, and wanted to know...

UPDATE: I've added the 4-year graduation rate into the equations, updated cost figures, and made two separate overall indexes—a quality index which is independent of cost and an appeal index which is dependent of cost. I've been trying to find an objective comparison of the podiatric colleges...
