Re:podiatry schoolsby me (no login)I think you should have some apprehension, and many of the things you fear are out there. However, if you work hard the rewards are there. I graduated from OCPM and I am about to complete a PPMR/PSR24. I interviewed with about 7 different groups and received offers from each above 70K. The opportunities are there for those that have the training. I feel the strides being made in the residency circles will ensure a more stable future. I concede that I completed the PPMR and went on the accept a resident position at a high powered program to complete the PSR24. If I had only done the PPMR and went into private practice I would be dead in the water. 3 years is a must. Another factor is the amount of podiatric students that are seeking residency is down and many programs are out that provide the training needed to succeed. For those that have provided a negative light are those that do not have the training. I recently applied for privledges at the local hospital where they currently have only one page of procedures and it was very limited. I turned in about four pages and my surgical logs to back up my requests with all being accepted. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
