Re: not reflective of acutal payby Anonymous (no login)Podiatrists are not a salaries position. There has never been a specific or localized study of DPMs earnings. There have been forms mailed out to DPMs requesting their pay. DPMs have the highest loan default rate amongst any other profession. Applications are down 40%. Schools are integrating with several junior colleges and are accepting substandard students. This profession is very much a gamble and a dangerous one at that. -------------- There are podiatrists in salaried position, though you would be correct to say it is not the rule. DPMs do not have the highest loan default rate. Percentages are skewed due to the small size of the profession. A single person with a default has a greater impact on the percentage than a single MD default. (Amazing, but those do happen too.) If you want to see a higher default rate look to chiropractics. Applications are down 40%? Where did this come from? If you are going to quote figures, give us some reference so we can verify the accuracy. I doubt this figure. Schools are integrating with several junior colleges and are accepting substandard students? Where did this come from? Are Temple University, Barry University, Finch University and Des Moines University junior colleges? Seems like these (and the other schools) offer a variety of graduate degrees (MS, PhD, DO, MD and DPM among others). I think it would be a stretch to consider these junior colleges. I doubt you could substantiate your claim that they are accepting substandard students also. There might be a couple here and there, but your statements seems to say that all the students accepted are substandard. Please don't post such garbage statements. It really looks ridiculous. from IP address 24.225.60.114 Goto Forum Home |
