Podiatry Improvements Steps/Questionsby M. Boyer (no login)3 Simple Steps to Help with the Podiatry Crisis 1. Get rid of the degree and make it a specialty under the ABMS. This will necessitate students EARN acceptance to a real medical school (MD/DO.) 2. School loans will be assisted because of this amalgamation. 3. Professors will REALLY be professors and thus learn real medicine then focus on the foot and ankle in ALL fifty states. I don't know any oral surgeons (DDS) that can only operate on the front teeth or have to ask permission to from an MD/DO to perform a root canal??!! Because podiatrists must ask permission to clip toenails in nursing homes, do pedicurists at the shopping mall need to ask permission to clip toenails also?? Another quick question, can one pursue legal action if a "professional" academy/association denies membership solely based on the alphabet soup at the end of an individual's name. Isn't this a blatant form of professional bigotry?? from IP address 134.174.244.221 Goto Forum Home |
