those buzzfeed articles are extremely well written. I wish I could see XR's and see what this clown was doing. sounds wild.Guyz, this is the dark web. We shouldn’t be too honest and post real life data and/or proof. You’re too kind in using your time to post *real* job offers
I believe so. this may be the worst practice in podiatry history.Was this the practice?

This listing probably got 100 apps already.$75,000-100,000 opportunity in Michigan. They want someone who is "well-rounded in foot surgery." 7 years to become a foot surgeon to make the same as a manager at Mcdonald's. Yikes!

Seems like true partnership offered on front end after complete a 2-3 year probation period is the common theme of these low paying, but high potential jobs. Gives both sides a couple years to make sure it is a good fit. There will be near zero turnover of podiatrists in these practices. They just add a new partner every so often.It’s important to keep in mind the value of practices that foster growth and ownership.
I have a colleague in a saturated area who had a starting salary of $80,000. Bonus of 40% of collections after $240,000 with conversion to 40% of collections after 1 year. Benefits- medical, dental, vision, 401k. Partnership track 3 years.
In his 2nd year he made $216,000. The starting salary is low, but the point of it is to hold him over as he builds his practice. I just want to point out that someone applying for jobs shouldn’t take starting salary as the only measure. Mentorship and working with a well respected group in the community is the most important thing.
F*** those who takes advantage of new grads though.
Yep, most of these practices have an MA and not a PA for the DPM.PA podiatry jobs are better than DPM associate PP podiatry jobs what is wrong with this picture?

Seems like smart model idea from ortho groups.Yep, most of these practices have an MA and not a PA for the DPM.
They will hire the PA who will learn the tricks of the trade from the DPM and then fire the DPM. The PA will then handle “routine” things and send the surgery to the orthos.

Birds of a feather? Holy crap.I believe so. this may be the worst practice in podiatry history.

Yeah, never hurts to apply. This is a great job for anyone who wants call/inpatient; I'd be amazed if they haven't already hired from local residents or network. A lot of places have to post it for X days or have to do X interviews before they can make an offer... even if they know who they want to hire all along.Here is another good job.
They do exist. Sometimes there is already a "hire" before posted and sometimes there is not. Almost all these jobs, this one included can be easily found online.
The department currently has five ABFAS certified Podiatrists (certification required within 7 years of start date) and two APPs.

Yeah, Christus is big in Louisiana and East Texas. Them, UT and Ochsner. There are some well trained pods in Shreveport including in Ortho groups. Shreveport has direct flights to Orlando (Disneyland), Denver and some other places. Cajun food, probably some gators. Not sure about scope in LA.Yes. This is a good job.
No way I would go to Shrevport to practice. Even if you 4x my salary I wouldnt go.Yeah, Christus is big in Louisiana and East Texas. Them, UT and Ochsner.

I'm sure they will be in big trubble for requiring ABFAS cert, lol. I kinda take it as a bad sign if a job doesn't have a clause like that 🙂

I am 95% sure LA scope of practice is garbage
DId this change in the last 5 years or so? I swear I looked at their scope years ago and it didnt have ankle.Shreveport is a decent medical hub, they even do heart transplants in that city. Louisiana has ankle for podiatry.
I think even South Carolina came around and ankle is allowed nowDId this change in the last 5 years or so? I swear I looked at their scope years ago and it didnt have ankle.
Village Podiatry associated with PI is all about K-wires because of higher profits in surgery centers....cough, cough I mean they have papers published on how they are just as good.Twin citites is a cool spot. If I was in the market I would jump on that.
THough I've heard thru the grapevine they have signficant budget constraints. K-wire fusion for basically everything. (Could be false).

I think it's a myth that just because you are non-op or do wound care means that you are not a "top DPM". This is only paraded here on sdn because everyone wants to beat their chest and claim they are doing surgery from dawn till dusk 7 days a week. Nothing could be further from the truth.They have some good DPM jobs and some non-op / wound ones... the latter obviously don't attract top DPMs.
Decent-sized system in south USA, yeah.
I understand what you're saying and I agree, with exception of the above - surgical podiatrists command SIGNIFICANTLY higher bases and rvu bonuses across the board in hospitals and MSG.will you rather work in a hospital group doing non-op/ wound care and getting paid like a real doctor. I know what I will choose.
100% agree with you.I understand what you're saying and I agree, with exception of the above - surgical podiatrists command SIGNIFICANTLY higher bases and rvu bonuses across the board in hospitals and MSG.

Because of location this might be one of the few employed jobs that doesn’t get many applicants.
They will certainly get at least a dozen applicants. There is no guarantee their top choice will accept the position, but someone else will certainly accept.While it will be a bit less than at a hospital that isn't in one of the most desolate places on earth, I will bet you that they will have at least a few dozen applications - this is in contrast to a hospital in getting over 100 apps (just within the first few days of posting!) for that coveted job. Money talks, and a good portion of new grads would rather live in the middle of nowhere for a few years while earning more than 2x compared to being stuck in crappy private practice.
Unfortunately I don't think a "good portion" would be willing to go to rural Montana. And this is RURAL. Billings is a few hours away and is....Billings. I think lots of DMU grads would be willing but not sure NYCPM...While it will be a bit less than at a hospital that isn't in one of the most desolate places on earth, I will bet you that they will have at least a few dozen applications - this is in contrast to a hospital in getting over 100 apps (just within the first few days of posting!) for that coveted job.

If this was for an MD might not get a single applicant for months and months at a time with no guarantee the occasional applicant would even accept the job.

Anyone that say MDs have issues also finding jobs have no clue. Long vacancies for many positions. You are taken out to dinner knowing you will get the job, but want to make sure it will be a good fit.I work in an area that is significantly closer to civilization and offers the same if not more outdoor recreation activities. It took us 2 years to recruit a new OBGYN…
