Thank you Dexter and Weirdy! This will be a nice additional resource for students. I'll post the Dean's Chat interview with Dr. Dupre tomorrow.
Heybrother, Adam, Retro - join us on a Dean's Chat episode - lots to discuss. Dr. Jensen

I don't think you want to do that... Let's just say it won't fit your narrative. Maybe ask some of the mobile podiatrists on Reddit

Here are the problems:

1) First and foremost, I know what I am and I know what I'm not, and I most certainly am not suited to debate formats. I'll either look like an ass or a doormat and either way you come across looking good. And maybe that's your plan. Does it make me a coward? Probably, I just know I have nothing to gain.

2) I've said it before: superheroes wear masks for a reason. I harbor thoughts and views that are disapproved by those in the leadership. I know it's within your scope of influence to make my life miserable if I come forward. If not you, someone else. I'm not suggesting that you're laying a trap, just saying I don't know that this isn't a trap. I have trust issues; the problem is me, not you.

3) SDN isn't a hivemind, I have certain opinions that many people disagree with here, and I don't represent anyone. If drafted, I will not run. If nominated, I will not accept. If elected, I will not serve.

And so, for these reasons, while I am most grateful that you would find me a suitable guest for your podcast, I must convey my heartfelt regrets that I am unable to join you. 🦞

I applaud you for this. This has been a long time coming. Someone who represents one view point for the profession and who is sponsored/funded by several podiatrist organizations and who makes a profit off video views should not be allowed to spam the entire forum.

Thank you
 
I am not interested. There is too much at stake. My career would be over. My family and children depend on me.

This is a trap
We can modulate your voice and apply a “Gaussian blur” over your face for anonymity. 😂😂

It’s not a trap, I mean, we interview students, residents, fellows, residency directors, fellowship directors, successful docs, legendary figures, associations, people in leadership positions, etc. - 260 episodes to date. Hardly “spam”.
We are missing the legendary “SDN attendings”….
 
Let’s talk about how successful all the regular posters are on SDN. Yourself included!
I work for a hospital, I have zero local competition/good Ortho relationships, I get to do everything I am trained to do, I live in a awesome place with outdoor activity (mountains lakes forest desert ocean), and most importantly myself and my family are happy/healthy. I would call that very successful. It hasn't been easy. I am one of the lucky ones.

To be fair nothing in life is easy. But being a podiatrist often times means doing it with one hand tied behind your back.

Many of the regular posters on here are not representative of the profession. High surgical volume an employed positions. I understand some of the hypocrisy but just because we aren't those people doesn't mean it doesn't exist and we don't see it. Even @BubbaWub working as an associate realizes how lucky he is. Maybe one day he'll really be able to have it all in transition to a job as a mobile podiatrist and then he can truly do what he loves. He'll never work another day in his life as the saying goes.

@Retrograde_Nail They can interview you this way like they in crime documentaries.

Thank you for the shoutout good sir.

My work in palliative podiatric care is highly satisfactory. I would love to join Dean's chat if allowed. You would find my practice very eye opening and enlightening for students interested in podiatric medicine.

My days consist of 30-40 patients with complex medical histories, such as PVD, DM2, and onychomycosis with some calluses as well. I do my best to medically evaluate them.

My problem is students will rotate with me, but then shortly after will switch to a different provider or another rotation. I have been told multiple times that my pathology isn't worthwhile.

I find this very disheartening, and would love to help Dean's Chat get podiatric medicine back on track for podiatric primary/palliative care. I believe I could help encourage a new generation of students into podiatry seeking to provide these invaluable services for our population.

Thank you
 
Ya know what would make students really happy to hear?
4th year students drowning in debt get slapped with a 600$ residency application fee then immediately slapped again with 1000$ fee to take an essentially meaningless board exam part 2. If it’s anything like part 1, the 1000$ exam will be poorly executed.

When will the boomers stop bending over the younger pods for a quick buck.

And they wonder why they spend millions and students still don’t apply 🤣
 
In fairness, gouging college students with arbitrary fees is a time honored tradition of higher education that predates the boomer generation. In fact, the boomers may have learned about this because they had to pay these fees!

Go ahead, try to not pay your graduation fee, see what happens. This is like in an old Simpsons episode where Mayor Quimby charged a special "Leaving Town Tax"
 
I think it’d be a great podcast if you talked about APMA blocking the convo with ACGME. Pros and cons of it. It’d be a powerful podcast that prospective students, residents and attendings all could benefit from
Did you listen to our episode with Dr. Bisbee and Meghan McClelland last week?
Here it is - we discussed the ACGME issue and the processes surrounding the discussion:

I will try and get NBPME on the podcast! We can discuss what goes into making an exam at the National Board level. You might be shocked.

Passing APMLE Boards Part 1 and 2 are high stakes exams, while testing minimum competency, that every student should pass. And based on this year's results, they don’t pass. Yet you say “meaningless”.

Everyone thinks these things magically happen, they do not. Lots of time and effort behind the scenes.

This podcast describes all the resources available and how to use them for passing each section of APMLE Part 1 Boards…Class notes, Anki decks, Sketchy, First Aid - Everyone learns and absorbs information differently.
 


Dr. Patel was one of our favorite interviews - a story of GRIT and resiliency! After being in practice he went back to do his fellowship with Douglas Pacaccio,DPM, FACFAS, and is now in AZ! Enjoy!
 
For the next few months we will be highlighting students from all the Podiatric schools and colleges!
Ep. 269 Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine 2025, American Podiatric Medical Student Association
 


Fun episode - lots of topics covered - family, Work/life harmony, advocating for our profession!

Dr. Parthasarathy is a board-certified podiatrist and foot & ankle surgeon based in Silver Spring, Maryland. Dr. Parthasarathy is a partner at Foot & Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic and serves as a national spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
 


Dean's Chat hosts, Drs. Jensen and Richey, welcome the American Podiatric Medical Association student representatives from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine.

Cassandra St. Louis (Class of 2027), Scott Fischer (Class of 2028), and Mansi Patel (Class of 2028) join us to discuss how they discovered podiatric medicine, their shadowing experiences, and things that have surprised them in school. They also discuss things that have inspired them, and a series of "Rapid Fire" questions! They also share "professor shout-outs" and their roles with APMSA!

Enjoy this conversation with student leaders!
