The best learning resources are free. I’d argue social media and some newer websites (15blades) are much better in terms of learning things that will change the way you practice/operate than anything you get CME credit for. CME credits are just for licensing, get them as cheaply as you can...

You are there for the location and IFAF knows it. They schedule lectures around any “activity” that may be available (skiing) or around port time when on cruises. And they make check in/sign-in pretty easy. Meaning they aren’t strict like ACFAS. If it’s a location you’d like to visit then I...

ACFAS membership isn’t as good of a deal as Feli makes it out to be. If you are going to their conference yearly then you don’t need their online CME. If you are just using their online CME then you can do that cheaper than $700 or whatever they charge now. That membership fee only gets you like...

Deadlift in socks like a man

There are a few folks on social media that slob all over the proverbial knob of ABFAS after passing in their final year of eligibility. They spend 6 years complaining about the gatekeeping function of ABFAS and then start touting its superiority once they finally pass. It’s sad, and laughable...

Little late on this one. Have already interviewed and scheduled people to come out in person…meanwhile even ortho jobs in the area can be hard to fill. God bless podiatry

That’s below 10th percentile for a general ortho. They aren’t “just” making $50 per wRVU. There’s more to their contract/compensation that they aren’t telling you or you aren’t telling us.

$60’s exists. $80’s may but that’s more than some ortho get so it’s a pipe dream. $40’s is criminal but in some regions it’s unfortunately standard. $350k in an employed production model isn’t hard unless you’re $40 per wRVU, then it takes around 9,000 wRVU which is top 10-25th percentile...

There are still plenty of ways to protect intellectual property and current client contacts/contracts without non-competes. The employee can be free to work for a competitor with a non-solicitation agreement, for example. No business needs to completely ban former employees from working for a...

Median home price in AZ is $435k. Their home is not unreasonable. $20k in car debt is not unreasonable for someone who underwent 7 years of post-graduate schooling and training with the ability to practice some form of medicine in this country. Even $325k of student loan debt isn’t bad for any...

Refers to girlfriend or wife as “partner” and pays her rent. Sounds like a ****hold more than a freeloader. Any ways, what may be more sad about the Ramsey show caller is that I believe I know who it is and they own their own practice. You can do well in PP but with ever increasing labor costs...

When they aren’t stealing from their residents…

If you are applying for jobs where the first person reviewing your application is another podiatrist (or his wife)…then it is us who have overestimated you. A job in which a podiatrist is in charge of hiring you, is rarely a good job Kidding aside. It’s easy to explain the situation to those...

Even if you get a DVT on a post op patient, you’re only really in trouble if you don’t recognize and make the dx. They get treated with some xarelto and that’s it. I don’t anticoagulate anyone without risk factors, and even then I’ll only anticoagulate if they are going to be NWB for an...
