DPM school & trainingby Anonymous (no login)Podiatry students at Des Moines University take their basic sciences classes side by side with the osteopathic medical students except for OMM. They take gross anatomy with M1s but then spend more time with the lower extremity. Scholl has just merged with Finch University and they take Gross also side by side with the M1s and will be integrating more of the classes. Temple also has an allopathic med program as well as the podiatric med program. Midwestern University will be opening up a Podiatric Medical program to be integrated with M1s in the ostepapthic program next year. Residencies are required in order to secure the possibility of gaining employment. They are done in hopspitals and integrate with other MD/DO/DPM residents. I know of 6 Scholl graduates who are doing 2 and 3 year surgical residencies at Loyola University Hospital's Department of Orthropaedics. To say that DPMs are far from medical schools is ludicrous. You should do SOME RESEARCH before writing something like that. I hope that as a pre-med or med student, you will broaden yor scope of thinking. Society does NOT need any more closed-minded ignorant physicans. from IP address 68.20.215.46 Goto Forum Home |
