Not trying to be a troll... I am currently applying to Pod schools (no dental or med schools) because I want to be a pod. Great experiences shadowing and am excited to get to do surgery one day if I can get in (keeping fingers crossed!).
But.... it is much more competitive to get into dental school than pod school.
I am curious as to why this is?
Is it because podiatry is much less known than dentistry? (I personally did not hear of podiatry until two years after I graduated undergrad).
Or is it because people think that feet are stinky/gross? (I personally would much much rather look at peoples feet all day than stare into their mouths... so much that while I did consider MD/DO I never even considered DMD).
From what I gather the pay is similar if not a little better for pods... so it cant be money?
Anyone?
