jess i thought u were contemplating DPM as a career? As far as I have read they do take USMLE. Stop hating on your dad's field and be constructive with your time. By the way there is cheating everywhere including medical and dental schools (so I have heard) so lets just remain positive while posting on these forums. We health ppl must stick together.

Man, you have one destructive chip on your shoulder. The author wants the students to read the PODIATRY section of SECTION ONE of First Aid. It's obvious that you've never read the First Aid book or you would know what the hell he's talking about (section one gives instructions on how to register for exams and how to prep for them).

You don't have to take Step I to benefit from the book, hence the podiatry section. In fact, I used First Aid to study for my dental Part I board exam and it helped in numerous ways.

Podiatry students do NOT take the USMLE for board certification. They have their own certifying examinations written by the NBPME or National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners. The board exam is called the PMLexis and consists of 3 parts. This is taken from the NBPME website:

The National Board examinations consist of three objective examinations; Part I, Part II, and Part III, formerly known as The Podiatric Medical Licensing Examination for States (PMLexis). Part I is generally taken after the completion of the candidate's second year of study. It samples the candidate's knowledge in the basic science areas of General Anatomy; Lower Extremity Anatomy; Biochemistry; Physiology; Medical Microbiology and Immunology; Pathology; and Pharmacology. Questions covering these content areas are interspersed throughout the test. Part II is generally taken near the completion of the candidate's final year of study. It samples the candidate's knowledge in the clinical areas of General Medicine; Dermatology; Radiology; Orthopedics/Biomechanics; Surgery/Anesthesia/Hospital Protocol; and Community Health/Jurisprudence. Questions covering these content areas are interspersed throughout the test.

The Part I and Part II examinations are designed to assess whether a candidate possesses the knowledge required to practice as a minimally competent entry-level podiatrist.

The Part III is a licensing examination designed to determine whether a candidate's knowledge and clinical skills are adequate for safe practice. Clinical skills refers to the application of knowledge needed by entry-level podiatrists to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients. Part III is used by state licensing boards to candidates who have applied or who are applying for licenses and who have met, or will meet, the state's own criteria for licensure for independent and unsupervised general practice. Candidates must hold a DPM and have made application for a license in one or more of the participating states to take Part III.

Give the FirstAid people a break. How are they supposed to know the acronym of every licensing exam?? Anyone with common sense would have realized they meant the NBPME. I think it's wonderful they are requesting input, but it seems all they got was an earful of negativism.

You really need to relax.
You could have relayed the same message to a RANDOM stranger with fewer words and a lot more class.
