You Didn't Match. Now What?

If your Match Day didn't quite go the way you planned, there's probably more than a little sense of disappointment. But it's not the end of the world, as others who've gone through the same thing you are explain in this article.

A lot of this article isn't really applicable to podiatry for the following reasons:

1) No school offers to delay graduation for an extra research year (some schools offer a masters degree which translates to just pay us an extra 50k a year)

2) The DPM degree is absolutely useless if you don't finish a residency. With a medical degree you can somehow get a 1 year internship and start a cosmetic/sexual health business at least. Or slap your name onto a product and endorse it.

I never stated or implied this article was relevant to podiatry. I simply posted it because I believe that this is an issue that isn’t well publicized.
