there has never been 500-600 podiatry jobs advertised at one time. Even if you look at all of the potential job boards/posting locations (indeed, the acfas affiliate, apma classifieds, pmnews, state medical associations, etc.), there’s probably never more than 40-50 different jobs posted at a time. I would bet that a slight majority of podiatry jobs aren’t ever advertised. Current postings is not necessarily a good metric. Though I’m sure we are all in agreement that it’s rough out there compared to previous years.
Since air bud owes me about $60k (lol no means testing huh?), I’ll go double or nothing. I bet that significantly more grads than usual are scrambling at the moment and can’t find employment. Anyone who had not signed their contract with a podiatry practice as of a few weeks ago, isn’t going to be signing one any time soon. For those who have, I would love to hear if the practice is trying to weasel out of the contract at the moment. C’mon folks, someone has to have some stories from current 3rd year residents. I’m booooored. Entertain us.
