I am curious, I have heard that all DPM residencies are now surgical 2 or 3 yrs. long. Is it really competitive to get into the 3 yr. ones? I am a pre-whatever student right now(DDS/DMD,DO,MD,OD) b/c I have an interest in all those fields. I have shadowed all of the above and have researched quite a bit about them. I recently have had an interest in surgery but am afraid that if I go the MD/DO route that I might not be able to get into a residency.Also how hard is it to get a job if you do have a 3 yr. residency? I really like procedure based things like surgery as I dont think I would get too bored with my job over the years. Any input would be great.
