dpm,doby cma, md,dpm (no login)I don't have any info about the specific program. However, if they award a DO degree, then the recipient is a fuuly fledged physician and can get licensed to practice osteopathic medicine in every state according to the individual states laws. Most states would require one year of postgraduate education(not in podiatry). Some states (eg arkansas) allow an MD to be licensed without any postgraduate requirement(this allows one to moonlight in the first year), however, DOs traditionally have completed a one year Osteopathic internship, so laws may differ. Incidentally, this program will not be any "gateway" for the profession at large. I suspect that anyone completing the dual degree would then enter an allopathic residency and become a pediatrician, general surgeon, radiologist, etc. I would be surprised if anyone going through the program would choose to go into a podiatry residency. How ya gonna keepem done on the farm when they've seen Paree? If these dual graduates did enter podiatry en masse they would likely have a certain claim to podiatry elitism much in the vein of the board certification snobbery that permeates podiatry. from IP address 12.207.72.33 Goto Forum Home |
