I know that this residency shortage is bad for everyone involved. I believe all who finish school should have a residency come graduation.
Some people on this forum are warning the pre-pods as well they should.
However, the warnings should go to the incoming podiatry students who are in questionable academic standing in undergrad (sub 3.0 gpa, sub 20 mcat). Most likely they will struggle in podiatry school.
The students above the average requirements for admission, and perform up to their abilities in podiatry school will have no problem obtaining a residency. Even with a shortage, a high percentage will still receive a residency.
Am I correct in these assumptions?
