Replyby (no login)DR. Klien i am an 18 year old high school student. I am interested in bieng a dpm in the future. Bu i have some questions that only a real podiatrist can answer. 1) do dpm get paid during thier residency? 2) what exactly is a residency? 3) how much do dpm's get paid after thier residency? 4) what do dpm's do on a typical business day? 5) will podiatrist make over 200k at one time in thier career? ANSWERS: 1) YES = I WAS PAID $26,000/YR IN 1992-94 (AVERAGE RESIDENCY SALARY AT A TEXAS RESIDENCY) Most residencies have different starting salaries, but are competitive with most MD/DO residency salaries. 2) SPECIALTY TRAINING AFTER PODIATRY SCHOOL. This is where you learn your surgical techniques and specialty training that will ease your transition into a practicing podiatrist 3) DEPENDS ON WHETHER YOU GO INTO PRIVATE PRACTICE OR GROUP PRACTICE. I started a solo practice, but may practicing podiatrists will join groups right out of residency training. There are benefits and pitfalls to both approaches. 4) SEE FEET Hello? 5) I'M NOT SURE ON THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR PODIATRISTS IN GENERAL. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF. I DON'T LIKE TO TALK NUMBERS, BUT LETS PUT IT THIS WAY, YOU WON'T STARVE FOR A LIVING. I know several podiatrist that make over a million dollars gross salary per year. from IP address 24.175.161.120 Goto Forum Home |
