RESPONSES/COMMENS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 2 A
From: Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM
I have said for many years that forcing all podiatrists to take a 3-year surgical residency is a mistake. All the numbers I have seen show that the average podiatrist generates less than 30 percent income from surgery. Also, as an attending podiatrist in our residency, we have had to deal with two bright young people who simply were not suited to be surgeons. This poses a horrible dilemma for our program…do we fail these young people and doom them to be unable to practice since they will not be able to get a license, or do we pass them, ascertaining they are competent surgeons when they are not. This should not happen!
