If someone were to start pod school late (accepted) and finish residency in their late 50s/early 60s completely debt-free, how long can they realistically practice? I understand that there's surgery involved, but from what I've read the surgeries seem to be fairly quick and straightforward (?). Is it realistic to expect to practice podiatry and perform surgery into someone's 70s? Or would no jobs hire them?
For example, apparently some surgical practices force someone to retire once they turn 70. Would that be the case for pod as well?
Thanks for your insight.
