This is where I send patients that come in demanding custom orthotics and are not interested in hearing anything that I have to say. Make sure to get 3 pairs!

Haha the scene where they are talking about how minimum security prison is no picnic was flashing through my mind when reading that article followed by the famous federal prison line.

I have no idea what this means?

I have no idea what this means?

First get a podiatry degree/cert in a foreign country. Then, work in American Samoa because they're short DPMs and will honor foreign degrees. Then relocate to Utah because they have license reciprocity with American Samoa. From there, the world is yours for the taking.

It was from the Podiatry Student forum. Kind of obscure. Totally ridiculous. Too fun to pass up.

That seems needlessly complicated.

I can't take credit for the idea. It does seem easier than getting board certified...zing!

I don't feel your comments about this are being fully appreciated but I see you.

It is the craziest back door ever. So an Australian trained podiatrist can back door into the US by going to American Samoa then getting a license in Utah? 🤯

OK I just checked the Federation of Podiatric Medical Boards on this. While DC, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands all have listings for their podiatry boards, there is none for American Samoa, Guam, or the Northern Mariana Islands, so I am officially skeptical of @Europe-mentee.pod 's claim. The Northern Marianas are basically a military outpost so any pods are probably in the Navy.

Hilariously, podiatry in Guam is regulated by the Board of Allied Health Examiners who governs specialties "like clinical psychology, audiology, speech language pathology, chiropractics, IMFT, etc." I assume we're the etc. To obtain a license, you need to submit an e-mail request.

More hilariously, Guam, population 170k, area 210sq mi, has 3 podiatry private practices (that I could find). But we're not saturated at all!

I remember applying for a hospital based job in Guam coming out of residency

Podiatry so saturated that you look for a job in an island in the middle of no where

I think one of the previous (and actually pretty awesome) surgery teaching docs at KSUCPM practices there, Dr. Prins.
