Hey Guys! Are there any MCAT prep recommendations or special tutors near UCF or online? I am looking at TheMcatProfessor website and it seems to be good, have anyone studied that website? First Gen medical school applicant hopefully next year and I am kind of concerned with the MCAT. Any recommendations are acceptable on how to study and resources to use are welcome! submitted by /u/RealisticAd8645 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Kent help please Any Kent students, particularly first and second year students, feeling isolated and as though the environment is toxic? Not trying to troll or hate. Really asking because I’m ok academics wise but in other aspects struggling here and see at least one other person seeming to be targeted by the toxicity more so than I might be. Or if you’re a current and/or past Kent student, did you easily fit in with everyone? What would you do if you didn’t fit in or if something out of your control was making you struggle? I’m an extrovert but the atmosphere in my class has started to take ..read more

Hi everyone! Recently accepted student and I constantly battle seeing the “doom and gloom” of our field. I see a lot of people day to day who are happy and grateful for their role and work within podiatry — but the forums consistently say that students are making the a huge mistake with going to school. Of course ROI is important and I am grateful to have 80% of my education paid for (veteran benefits) — but what would you say as a student, resident or practicing podiatrist there is to look forward to within our career? Or what do you look forward to everyday? submitted by /u/notaregmomacool ..read more

What's your favorite podiatry joke/pun? I'll go first! What do you say about a pregnant podiatrist? She's got a "bunion" the oven!!!! submitted by /u/HalothaneHuffer [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This is a topic I think is not spoken about enough among doctors. In our profession generally speaking there are many elderly patients and sick patients who are likely going to die while under your care. I personally become very attached to some and take it quite hard when my patients pass away. I guess I have 2 questions: 1)How do you handle it? Any tips are appreciated, I’m only 2.5 years out and I have never seen so much death and honestly it really is taking a toll on me emotionally. 2)What is the general opinion on docs attending funerals? I would like to attend one of my most recently p ..read more

I know fellowships are always a hot topic. One if they are even needed and two if half of them are even worth doing. All of that aside, how competitive are fellowships, especially the ones that are “worth doing” or “top fellowships” submitted by /u/mintyfresh2932 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I find this topic infuriating when it comes up here and the other place. Btw, this post isn't about MONEY. It's about KNOWLEDGE. Why? For a few reasons. Somehow, some disgruntled podiatrists like to spread this fallacy that MDs and DOs have vastly more knowledge than DPMs. Which is an absolute load of BS. We are experts in our specialty, just like a Pediatrician is an expert in his or hers, or a Nephrologist is an expert in his or hers. The idea that, somehow, Podiatrists should know the body systems as intimately as an Internist is ridiculous. Does an internist have more than passing knowled ..read more

How is the difference in difficulty wise between USMLE for medical school and APMLE for podiatry medical school in general? Also, how is the test different? submitted by /u/Active-Jacket-7537 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have been in management consulting specializing in podiatry for the last six years. I help private practices in early stages of growth through preparing for a sale/retirement. In that time, I have talked to hundreds of private practice owners, associates, and employees of all phases in their careers from different areas of the country. I love podiatrists. They are good people, providing a great service for their communities. It surprised me when I came into this specialty and amazes me still how many solo practitioners there are. Something like 80% of private practice podiatrists are 1-3 do ..read more
