statsby Just Browsing . . . (no login)I am not a podiatrist, but in response to your question regarding the increasing income, that could depend on a variety of factors. I have not read the survey, but from what wwas stated in a previous post, it was from members of the APMA (sorry if I messed up the acronym). So, it can be conculded that the survey is only reliable for that subpopulation of podiatrists. How many practicing podiatrists are not members of the APMA? How many podiatrists left the profession? How many podiatrists do other tasks for a living full-time in a podiatric capacity (teach, consult, research, etc). In order to get a true estimate of the podiatric income, and thus the earning power of the degree, these individuals would need to be surveyed. Maybe there are a small number of podiatrists who make the majority of the money, and they are overrepresented in the APMA, whereas other subpopulations of podiatrists are underrepresented in this organization, thus skewing the results. These are only my thought based on what I inferred from these posts. from IP address 152.163.189.129 Goto Forum Home |
