Not True

Less than 1% of podiatrists practice in this manner. One must be careful when looking even at objective information and extrapolating the implications. Politicians are the best at this, professional schools also do this. One can tell lies even when using objective information.

Typical starting salary is 35 - 70k, with incentives and possibly benefits, or straight percentage of collections. The higher salaries are often in areas with a high cost of living or geographically undesirable areas. Some (very few) do start at over 100k and those that do may work in situations such as the groups this survey was taken from.

Did you even read this below? Do you really think that the typical podiatrist works for the Mayo Clinic?

this survey since 1986, represents the interests of medical groups nationwide, including some of the nation's largest, most prestigious integrated healthcare delivery systems. AMGA advocates for the multispecialty group practice model of healthcare delivery and for the patients served by medical groups through innovation, and information sharing, benchmarking, and continuous striving to improve patient care. The members of AMGA deliver healthcare to more than 50 million patients in 42 states, including 15 capitated lives. The average AMGA member group has 260 physicians and 13 satellite locations
