In Search of the Truthby BrittASP (no login)As a senior coming out of one of the most impressive undergraduate chemistry programs in the country, I have come to a cross-roads. I recently required podiatric treatment, and was interested in the profession immediatly. I had several shadowing experiances with many different podiatrists. None of them seemed to have any of the concerns that are posted on this board such as: lack of respect, patients or monetary compensation. I have not decided wether or not to pursue podiatry, but I do have several questions for any informed person to answer. 1. Which schools offer the best training for the podiatric student? 2. Why is there so much negative "noise" circulating around podiatrist. 3. I have my options open to several different fields. With a 3.4 overall GPA and a 3.04 science GPA in the most difficult chemistry department on the east coast, what would be the benefit of sitting out a year and pursuing DDS, MD, OD, or Chiro? from IP address 152.10.192.70 Goto Forum Home |
