The average tuition for four years of pod school is around 200k. The starting salary for a pod straight out of residency is roughly 150k, this can change depending on what geographic location you are at and what kind of employer you have (ie hospitals, multi-specialty, military, etc). You should do some digging around on this forum, I remember seeing actual data posted by someone a while back regarding salary.
I would be interested to see data from newer podiatrist with the 3 year residency vs older pods who could have a 1 to 3 year residency. I am guessing the non-surgical 1 year deals from years ago bring the average down? Thoughts?I know this may not answer your question directly, but there is some information you might find interesting on this website: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291081.htm#(5)
I don't put too much weight on these websites. This is a good place to start your research, but people in the industry can give you the best info. I relied on the people I shadowed and the people who are either residents or new Podiatrists.I know this may not answer your question directly, but there is some information you might find interesting on this website: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291081.htm#(5)
