[Far Cry]

I'm new here and am trying to learn about the different reputations of the various schools. Does anyone have any resourses regarding the caliber of education, the reputation of various schools vis a vis residency programs, and other info that would help me differentiate between the different schools?

Thanks.

You will get varying opinions depending on who posts. Everyone has different experience and opinon. However, certain people consistently have the links to previous threads and other websites. Jonwill, dr. feelgood, ilzarob are a few who have sources too back up what they post.

Here is a link that has info on each residency approved by the apma. It is off of the aacpm website.

Hope that helps a little.🙂

Again, use the SDN search tool and check out pod school rankings or pod residency rankings. That might help, also once you check out those threads, if you have anymore questions, feel free to post them here or PM me.

What exactly is a clerkship?

Where can you find information on podiatric fellowships like the info provided for residencies on the website you provided the link to?

 

[Dr_Feelgood]

Info on clerksips and residencies can be found at www.aacpm.org. As for fellowships I posted that info under the residency topic.
