One Board Proposition at APMA HOD

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
It's a real thing, lol.
You can find DPMs who list their student clerkships on their profile and training. No cap.

It's one thing to fudge CV stuff for jobs or social medial.
For hospital apps and interviews, it's risky. Obvious dealbreakers and reportable stuff there.
For advertising, embellishing is potentially bad. Area pods can whistleblow to state board or worse. I've seen that.
For malpractice or litigation, it can end very badly.

I honestly wonder about all these young DPMs now who throw around the terms "foot and ankle surgery" or "plastic surgery" and "limb lengthening" and "nerve surgery" all over LinkedIn and social and their office/personal websites. What will happen when a big recon attempt - or even a bunion - goes badly sideways and the plaintiff attorney starts questioning that advertising/training terminology? What if they bring in MD or plaintiff themself to say the pod was mimicking F&A ortho or plastic surgeons... and representing training and certifications they don't truly have to lure the patient in? We shall see.
The student rotations with sports teams get a lot of embellishment

You’re just jealous you didn’t do a plastic surgery, limb lengthening, limb salvage, limb reconstruction, wound debridement, forefoot accredited, rear foot accredited, CPME accredited, 2 year fellowship and didn’t complete the advanced dremel ABFAS course.

In all seriousness, you’re absolutely right. When I was a student I was impressed now, the more buzz words I see on your profile, the less I trust you. Unless of course you completed the advance nail nipper debridement course.

You mean getting the prestigious FCC certification?


In terms of one board, maybe the one board should be this?

Hmmm … Dug up a post from 5 months ago just so you could derail the thread with more podiatry hatred?

Seems more like hatred for lying/embellishment than podiatry hatred. I too hate dishonesty.
