Podiatry School Can be a Dubious Choiceby A.B. (no login)In opinion, do not attend any podiatry school until they clean up their act academically, clinically, and offer reasonable methods/plans/programs to pay back your massive student loans which are not forgivable. The PR campaigns and slick recruting PR is just that. Any school that needs such PR, adverts etc... should be stood clear of. An impt. needed profession should sell itself based on integrity, honor and ethical care it provides patients (not customers). If you really love the ankle/foot, become a foot/ankle orthopod or ortho PA, we had sports ortho PA's that practically did the ankle fxs, calc, fx etc... the pod students and residents watched from afar and were not even permitted to scrub in, and in the rare cases they were scrubbed in, they held retractors awkwardly or watched the backs of heads. The podiatry "residency" director actually considered this 'training." Wow. from IP address 170.223.175.85 Goto Forum Home |
