From what I have been hearing, Scholl might be offering a DPM/MD degree sometime in the future.

every podiatry school offers a DPM/MD degree, the program itself just takes longer. what you do is you get a DPM from the podiatry school (4 yrs+3 yrs residency) then you retake the mcat and apply to allopathic medical schools (4 yrs+3-6 yrs residency). you're looking at around 14-17 yrs of education and a LOT of debt but it's totally worth it dude!~
It will serve a purpose. It will allow those students who couldn't get into medical school to "backdoor" their way in. I suggest a different route. Do a 1 year masters program and study hard to increase your MCAT.
Like the other posters have alluded to, the dual degree is meaningless unless you want to bill for both podiatric procedures and primary care procedures.
Lol, first start DPM program and survive our classes and then think abt a combined DPM/MD program. The DPM program itself is so exhausting and time consuming, you practically have no time left for anything. If they start a DPM/MD program its gonna be very horrible and tiresome. May be 1st,2nd yr can be made common like DMU, AZPOD but 3rd and 4th yr rotations, boards,etc. It makes no sense.

Besides a couple more initials, people would do the program just to have more possible opportunities. Especially if someone wanted to be part of an Ortho group. A DPM/MD could have some benefits however I agree that you would still want to do a PM&S-36.
