Maybe removing podiatrists from the selection process of residents would help avert future "crisis." The decision making process regarding the training of podiatric graduates is at best confusing, often ambiguous, and often overshadows their education. Students learn early that they're spending time and energy "auditioning" for postgraduate training. The likelihood that some "directors" may use this power over trainees should be something to examine; not however, by those who stand to benefit. The scope of practice for podiatry in all states is limited to the foot excluding the totality of the human being, maybe the selection of residents should be in the hands of people licensed, and trained in life changing conditions. The politicking, financial incentives, and personal agendas for practicing DPMs precludes some podiatrists from fairly selecting who will or will not be given an opportunity at a career. If the decision making process is in the hands of those who stand to benefit the system is inherently flawed.
Remove the residency selection process from podiatrists.
