Anyone else get the TUSPM Winter newsletter? For those who didn't, this is how the Temple University School of Medicine responded to my application.
Dear Future Physician:
This is the second of a series of short newsletters the Temple University School of Podiatric medicine (TUSPM) sends to students that have participated in the administration of the Medical College Admission Test. This communication gives you a synopsis of developments at TUSPM and highlights other articles of interest. Please take five minutes to peruse the winter 2007 issue. To access the issue please visit the following URL address http://podiatry.temple.edu/gaitway/vol4isu2.html.
When considering a health professions career consider podiatric medicine. Our students have the unprecedented opportunity to train side-by-side with other Temple University (TU) health care professionals. Students have assisted in providing care at the TU hospital level one trauma center as well as at other TU clinical settings and hospitals located throughout the country.
Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M.) experience significant professional satisfaction. They enjoy one to one interaction with patients, perform surgical procedures and treat a full scope of systemic and biomechanical issues affecting the lower extremity. Seventy five percent of podiatric physicians work less than 48 hours per week, allowing them a balance between providing health care and pursuing personal interests. Furthermore, according to the Department and Bureau of Labor Statistics, podiatric medicine ranks eleventh out of the twenty top paying professions. Results from a recent survey conducted by the American Podiatric Medical Association of its members indicated the average net salary of a podiatric physician is $136,000

So, you think this means I'm not getting an interview there?
