Is there any benefit to this degree? Would it help with residency?

Or a DPM/MS?

Take my uninformed 2nd year opinion with a huge grain of salt. Podiatry residencies are looking for candidates that they can shape into future podiatrists. People with stellar knowledge of the foot and ankle, surgical promise and talent, and as much medical knowledge of the body as we can jam in. None of that requires anything more than a DPM. Perhaps some sort of super technical masters degree could light up some eyes (biostatistics, microbiology), but I don't see the need for more debt when quite frankly across any school class there's going to be a huge spectrum of competency with ample opportunity to set yourself apart. Also, and I've written about it elsewhere, most MPHs are softball crap.

No it won't help with residency. Just rock your classes and get involved with research. Do well on clerkships.

When do you graduate anyway? Scholl is my 1st choice and I'm applying this December? Gonna have questions about housing and such.

Not soon enough. I will be happy to answer questions about Scholl just as long as you don't PM me with a lot of them. You can also call the school and ask to speak with a Scholl Ambassador. They will happily answer your questions and probably more thoroughly than I could. I have not been back on campus for at least 8 months.

Thank you.
