NY Podiatrist Lauds APMA

Dr. Robert Bijak of Clarence Center, NY has announced that he will be re-joining the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). Bijak has long been a critic of APMA leadership and its policies. "I've come to the realization that maybe podiatry needs to remain autonomous from allopathic medicine," says Bijak.

"Besides, it's time to give up the silly idea of being MD's and DO's and be content with the anonymity of the DPM degree. After all, being DPM's has its benefits. Our students won't have to study hard for the USMLE exams", says Bijak. "Finally, we don't have to worry about patients' expectations. We can just continue to "refer out" what we haven't learned. We can simply tell them, "we're not medical doctors, we're just podiatrists."
