I’m thinking about moving to be closer to my family in the near future so I’m looking into applying for that states license. One part of the application wants me to reach out to my previous jobs and have them sign a form saying when I worked for them I didn’t have any issues/lawsuits/complaints...

I know this is an old thread, but OP if you’re still around did you end up buying the practice? If you did is it working out for you or do you wish you started your own? I respect that you used real numbers and I worked in the Philly area so I know how tough it can be

I’d love to find some cushy position on USA jobs requiring a doctorate to slide into. VA’s seem too competitive these days

Are there any fed jobs we as podiatrists can transition into besides the VA that has a decent salary (150k+)?

I’m a few days behind, but I know that practice. The girl who bought it has family money, her parents own a large home healthcare company

Definitely don’t take what you see here as a grain of salt, especially when the person telling you that is a second year student. Visit the attending page and see what it’s like in the real world, and if more schools equal more students it’s only going to get worse. Check out the pharmacy...

I don’t know the guys backstory, but last year he posted about a podiatrist who was promoted to general manager at a plumbing company. It listed his credentials too (which were impressive, he had been a residency director at a power program) but it was just so odd and depressing, like he was...

Down the street from my old practice there was a hospital paying non surgical podiatrists a boatload, rumor was that they can/would charge a facility fee for nail care

1) 70k (associate) 2) 210k (clearly not the same job) 3) 4 years

What program?

Totally agree with Airbud. I worked as an associate for 3 years after residency and made about 70k each year (had a family and couldn’t leave the area which had a podiatry school and tons of residencies. ALL the offers were between 60-85 and this was 4 years ago). I got a better job that...

Has to be trolling

I had a side gig at a nursing home and it can be complicated depending on the state. My state says I can only have one insurance policy so my old private practice mustache man had to play ball (he knew how much he was underpaying me and figured this would keep me around longer). The insurance...

Yeah, and it wasn’t a big city. It was a small town in central NC

Sometimes they just do that. I applied to one about 4 years ago and after the deadline got a notification saying I was in the “highly preferred” category or something. 4 months go by and I hear nothing so I emailed the HR person at the VA location and he was like “oh yeah, we decided not to...
