Be proud of the CCPM school combining with an allied health school. Be proud MCATs are not required anymore. Be proud of computers and other incentives to drum-up any and all applicants to apply to the anemic podiatry "schools". Be proud of sitting in class into your third year to hear lectures about clipping, skiving, and didactics about what an SMA7 stands for. Be proud while the MD/DOs are intensively learning and DOING medicine, your sitting in an plastic seat memorizing the diff. between a corn v. callous-this is definitely cerebral folks. Be proud of "clinic" training mainly consisting of cutting indigent toenails and lathering feet with emollients. SOunds like a beauty shop. Be proud of the spotty and inconsistent residency "training" at community hospitals with the podiatry "resident" helping a plastic surgeon perform breast reductions. (holding retractors of course) Be proud of the lack of real research in podiatry or publications in real journals. (JAPMA, JFAS don't count, anything gets accepted.) Be proud of the embarrassingly low pay under 70K after residency. Be proud of the do nothing podiatry orgs that constantly beg for $$$. Be proud of the easy as a cosmo survey "boards" that cost approx. $500.00 for less than an 1hr "test." Be proud of Brian Gale. Be proud of the useless APMA and their political do nothing agendas for thousands a year in dues. Be proud of all 50 different scope laws in the states. Be proud of the lack of credibility your "degree" has. Be proud of crawling on the floor in a lab coat as a pedicurist amongst feces/urine at a nursing home.
