question

by Dr. R. Kimble (no login)

 
Today, I was contacted by the Des Moines University regarding donations and if to provide information to their alumni organization.
I informed the caller that I was very busy and felt that I have arrived to my current station in life without the help of CPMS (DMU) and could not provide them with any funds.
A few questions I would like to offer to the forum:

1. Since, CPMS did not assist in my obtaining my residency and in fact no longer provides slots for residency training, Does any one else out there feel the same ?

2. Would other alumni care to answer is Des Moines a better college ? Did it prepare us for CASPR or CRIP ? Perhaps the Dean would answer this question. I remember being in the same class room with the DOs for two and half years-graded on the same scale and treated like second class citizens by the instructors.

3. If the other Podiatry Colleges have joined established medical centers and schools. What does that state for our profession ? Yes I practice as a solo practioner (nursing homes and lots of nails) By training at CPMS was complete.

4. How many of my classmates jump to DO/MD training after disappointments ?

5. CPMS dictates Surgery-Surgery-Surgery-Please review their faculity- At residency interviews it was oh you went to Des Moines (next please)

6. I do want to thank the director at DMVA at mountain home he was honest and enlighten me to the score-I was not qualified for his RPR PSR. It seem to be a great program-I wish I could have qualified.

7. As I keep running toward salvation in the podiatry profession with Inspector Jarrod chasing me it seems I am podiatrist without a home. I guess that is why podiatrists eat their young because the PIE is all gone

*will you guys censor this one---the truth is out there
the message will get out only the good old boy system is Wild for Feet the rest of us are trying to make a living
