Hi, I visited many websites and such and have gotten mixed ideas about the salaries. I was wondering if anyone knew the salaries for the different specialites in podiatry or any salary info. What are my chances of getting in also, I got a 30P and have a GPA of 3.3. I just dont want to get into something where the payout stinks. If anyone knows anything, please let me know. I from illinois so if that helps. thanks for all your help

You should be able to get into school w/o a problem. With you stats, look at the top programs, I'm a big supporter of CPMS obviously.

As for the pay, there are a lot of mixed signals. Why? One b/c some of the more accurate reports represent a small portion of pods and they lack a due breakdown. Two, the department of labor is very skewed b/c people want the the government to think that they are poor. Three, there are many different levels of experience and qualifications. Finally, older pods maybe looking to go part time so it looks like they make less.

From pods I've talked to, you can expect to make 6 figures out of a PM&S 36 residency. This number is slowly rising. I've talk to some pods that make about 600K a year. I've talked to some that make 100K. So, I'm sorry I can't give you a straight answer, but I would be working so hard if the future was grim.

That is a good question and I think Dr. Slaphappy pretty much summed it up. There is a large dispartiy in training and the differences in income reflect that. From a new grad's standpoint though, things are looking good. But I guess it all depends on your definition of a "good salary".

I still think those a a bit low b/c most people lie to the government so they don't have to pay higher taxes.

SO maybe Kentucky is just the most honest state?
