Pod School vs. Med Schoolby Anonymous (no login)Listen to the DPMs here. Read their posts and hear their thoughts (more like horror stories) about the schooling and training of DPMs. It is nothing like medical school and neither is the residency. If you have this deliusion that you went to med school or that is what you may tell people to accomadate your fantasy of becoming a doctor you are wrong. DDS, OD, and DPMs do not attend medical school. They attend dental, optometry, and podiatry school(s). I am definately a podiatry advocate because I have been worked on several times by one but to claim that they are trained in the disciplines of allopathic or osteopathic physicians is ludacris. They arent. In the majority of states they are not classified as physicians at all. Podiatrists are a needed specialist. However, they may take the basic sciences with med students, big whoop, so do dental students and dental students dont claim to be in med schools now do they. Realize what you are and your profession will be better for it. from IP address 65.100.215.207 Goto Forum Home |
