New school = more grads for the same number of jobs available. Growth would go down simply by punching in these numbers. Not sure why this is suprising news.
Im assuming this is terrible news for people like us considering going to podiatry school. They just made it to where there is enough residency spots (doesn't mean these are all high-quality residencies) and now they're opening a new school. *Sigh* From what I've gathered in my week looking at podiatry, the profession itself looks good but the job market and reimbursement are grim. Now there's this we would have to worry about. Sounds like Ill need to suck it up and take my chances applying DO regardless of the fact that this looked like a rewarding career.
I would be very thankful if you could share where you're getting this information from with regards to what the total compensation is for new grads.
My comparison to Pharmacy comes from the BLS report and many people on this particular thread make it sound like it's going to get that bad. However, many people have told me to ignore the BLS reports.
I would go where the job security is. Everyone is making it sound like the market is saturated, and I have other people telling me that it isn't. I can't rely on school websites or The American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine. I'm very confused about the job outlook from a marketing standpoint.
When you take into account the costs of a podiatric medical education and the fact that podiatrists are saying it is a saturated market and most jobs are low paying associate jobs, I'm having a very hard time being optimistic about this from a financial standpoint
I never wrote this, that im deadset on being an ortho surgeon, I'm not sure why you're assuming this. All I said is I was initially planning DO only. I recently found this profession and since it looked rewarding, I was considering taking this route to practice medicine instead. My situation is that I know I would be competitive for DPM, I'm not sure if I would make it into a DO program. Granted, I just started looking at this as a profession and will be shadowing shortly. This thread is making me feel very uneasy about job security AND this forum in general worries me about combating the debt since supposedly you start out at 80-100k since most of the associate jobs pay this. Ive never heard of starting associate jobs at 150k, again if you could share that id appreciate it very much.
If you could show where you see this id be very grateful. I will try to find it myself, but that's not what I've seen at all.

Canada, eh?
See, you’re halfway to becoming Canadian already!
Sounds like BC needs to open up a new podiatry school
Developing a school has been discussed in BC and Alberta from time to time, but it's a difficult task, and never seems to get out of the discussion stage. Even starting a residency has been a struggle. We had a residency for many years at Vancouver General. (I did the program.) But that was put on hiatus when the residencies changed to 3-year programs, and the government never refunded it. So our numbers are now hurting. We really could use practitioners up here. You'd be busy almost immediately, no matter where in the province you wanted to settle. And we're in a unique situation where we bill privately (unlike most of medicine here), and you get paid the day of service. It is truly a great place to live and practice. You can do quite well here, yet no one in the US seems to know about it.
It could be looked at in either way. Some may say it means less competition. From the profession's perspective, though, a school, residencies, and a reliable stream of new, well-trained practitioners is a good thing.
There's enough space to come up and work on your own. You don't have to work for or with others if you do not wish to.
The taxes aren't particularly bad if you structure things well. And you get something for your money. Schools are good. It's clean. It's safe. And the vast majority of your medical care is covered.
Is this the one affiliated with NYCPM? Where the students go down and rotate for a little while?
I'm not an expert in the Quebec school, but I don't think a rotation in NY is required. Perhaps some do such rotations. I gather some were trying to go to the Quebec school, then transfer to NY to get a US degree and access to residency programs, but I don't know how popular that was / is.
Haven’t heard too much but I think Lavery is going down there to help start up.
I would be really surprised if he gives up his fellowship program.
Go DO and never look back
$10k a year? Sounds too good to be true. other schools are $43k+. it’s crazy. I’m never paying back my loans unless ADA hits $10
ADA will hit somewhere between $5-10 this bull cycle. MELD is another cardano native token that does crypto back fiat lending. Look it up. I got 300K of MELD tokens. Going to be huge.
interesting…. I’ll take a look. I’m a big ada and Eth guy
Damn. You got some cohones. 45k on a crypto lottery. I hope youre right!
Have you been to the Rio Grande Valley? It’s the literal hot, sweaty crotch of Texas. Cities in Texas are great and all, but the RGV is a god awful place to live with nothing to do but raise a family or get drunk in Mexico if you’re an underage college kid.
Ah crap I can't believe you mentioned ADA to @CutsWithFury ....
Don't disagree with anything you said about Texas. The Iowa school is not the middle of nowhere. You have no idea what the middle of nowhere means.... Try practicing there and trying to deliver good patient care when you have no vascular surgeon or infectious disease or dialysis for 3 hours in any direction
