The best tip I have for you is first, take it one step at a time. Based on the posts I've seen, you haven't started school yet, so don't even worry about clerkships right now. When you start, be engaged in classes, study, get a tutor if you need one, and of you can get an A in no other class, get it in Lower Extremity Anatomy. Don't even worry about boards right now. If you're getting A's and B's and you put in an adequate amount of study time with a COUPLE of study aids beyond class notes, you will pass boards on the first try.

Here is where people slip up the first two years:
-assuming podiatry school will be easy
-worrying about residency when they should be worried about the exam next week
-failing to use tutoring resources offered at your school
-getting burnt out by not balancing life and school
-failing to develop an efficient study strategy

thanks for the tip @KSUCPM2015 ... Yes I need to focus on now.. but I just want a localized thread... about common pitfalls at each stage... which is pretty valuable to have...

A thread take days.. sometimes months for it to mature into useful information... my intention was to ask a question that could be useful to ppl at all stages in their pod career who could use the info in here..
