Glad to see that you are thinking hard about this most important decision...
I think that the most important decision next to "do I really want to be a podiatrist," is where should I go to school to be the best one I can be.
Really EVALUATE the schools
ask
1. What hours are you in school
You NEED study time.... If the schedule limits it, in my opinion, you're going to be disadvantaged.
There is so much information that you will have to master and you need time to really learn it.... not for the grades, but FOR YOURSELF.
Don't let the schools blow you off on this one. IT'S YOUR EDUCATION! You deserve to know what you're getting for the $.
2-3 hours of study time for each 1 hour of lecture. I wouldn't recommend it any other way.
You're training to be podiatrists, doctors, TRAIN like one!!!!!
