Hello,
I recently was admitted to a few DPMs and now narrowed down to one school. But I am wondering if I can get my MCAT up, should I try again for DO schools. If I get to MD level, I know I will go to MD. What about DOs....
I have looked at the old forums... saw this statement. "DO schools have even higher tuition and with more than 60% getting jobs in FM, PEDs, IM and other lowest paying specialties, I do not get why people advocate for DO to be a better financial decision than podiatry. Easier to find a job, I agree. Would these easy-to-find low-paying PCP jobs be necessarily better, Idk. DOs come out with significantly higher debts and only a small percentage will earn more than 300k. I would agree that MD is better choice since tuition is lower, better residency options and so on."
What do you all think? Is POD field different now?
DO VS DPM
Thank you
