The Ball Has Started Rolling

I'm a recent college graduate in the middle of the process of applying to Podiatry school. I initially thought I wanted to be a DO doctor, but upon further thought and after shadowing a podiatrist, I have decided that Podiatry school is the right choice for me. I will still be able to perform surgeries, write prescriptions, and have my own practice. I can do all of this and still have a family life. You get the best of both worlds. I really think it is medicine's best kept secret.

I have received four invitations to interview at different podiatry schools this week. Monday I received two emails. One from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and the other from New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Tuesday I received an email from Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. Today I received a phone call from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine. I also got a packet in the mail today from Temple University. Inside the packet there was a formal invitation letter, FAQ's about Temple, a student's guide to Philadelphia booklet, and information about lodging in Philadelphia. All in all it was very professionally put together.



I'm VERY excited that this process has officially started. I need to schedule interviews still, but I'm waiting to see if I hear back from any other schools as well so I can set them all up in the same two week time span.
