Re: Don't know who to believe?by Anonymous (no login)Why would they be afraid to share "bad" information on the profession? I think you did the right thing by going and visiting with different podiatrists. Maybe you should visit with or call podiatrists in an area you think you may be interested in practicing in the future. The profession does not have a lot of "jobs" available to new practioners because of our small numbers and the fact that most practice until they retire, so to establish relationships with doctors in an area you are interested in may be a good idea. I have a friend that did this and he is very well compensated for his efforts in his group practice. I opened on my own and am doing well. If you depend on a "job" you may be offered low saleries and little benefits. You need to either open on your own or find an ethical podiatrist who is willing to compensate you fairly and allow you to buy into the established practice. Or you can work for someone and save up enough money to open up on your own. I know of 2 pods that did this in my area and are doing very well. All 16 podiatrists I worked with during my 3rd year of residency are doing very well and all of the podiatrists in my area are doing very well. Good luck to you. from IP address 64.196.60.17 Goto Forum Home |
