Barry probably has the best rotations and 4th year clerk structure.
You get the most clerkship whole months before interviews of any pod school (5-7), and you get flexibility (depending on if you do the month off to study for interviews/boards/vaca). The best play is usually just to max clerkships and use the home clinic month later on in the cycle to study (hours are not bad at all... and Miami is a never-ending vaca), or take Dec off to relax and prep for Jan interviews if you want a vaca month. You want Nov home clinic month and Dec month off for best scenario imo... Nov off and Dec home is ok... or just Dec home month is fine if no vaca month off. Remember that you'll get some time in early January shortly before CRIP to study also. Forget that noise about being "memorable" or "you'll know more" by clerking at top choices late in the cycle and months right before interviews. The stars always shine.
Clerkships after interviews are just wasted money, and Barry doesn't have those.
It has been awhile since I went there, but I talk to a few faculty. Most has not changed a ton...
The skills labs (cast, IV, inject, orthotics, exam, etc) are adequate, but you will get more actual patient reps at Barry than most schools. That and the clerk schedule are Barry's biggest strengths.
The local 3rd year rotations in Miami are pretty good. It's a big city with a lot of people and diverse path.
Some medicine hospitals are better than others... all adequate, most are at least small teaching hospitals. Some will teach more; others are more you get what you put in. Regardless, no going out of the city to do ER, surgery, internal med, etc like other pod schools do ("core").
The school-run podiatry clinics are ok and varied in focus (sports, wound, gen pod, etc), but volume is not amazing (no pod school clinic is amazing path/volume... it's to teach you the basics). Barry's are nearly all pretty busy relative to other pod schools... no sitting holding up the wall with 4 students per patient like some other pod schools' clinics. You will see patients and do notes on your own or sometimes with partner or resident or fellow.
USE YOUR 4th YEAR STUDENTS or residents in the clinic to learn from... the good ones, obviously. You will later meet most other pod schools' students out on clerkships who have seriously hardly even done an injection, wound debride, presented a pt to attending, applied a splint, hands-on exam, etc because their clinics are very slow or they just do mostly "simulated patients."
Most Temple, most Scholl, and some NY and some SMU, and rare students from the newer pod schools will also be fairly comfortable with pts and hands-on on early clerkships also. From Barry, you will definitely have among the most 3rd year exam and procedure reps if you applied yourself. You should be prepared to present patients well and make dx and tx plans fairly well. Most pod students are VERY green on procedures and exams going into clerkships since their school's pod clinics are slow or they just have way too many students-to-pts ratio, mostly just nails in clinic, etc. Feel lucky.
The private Miami pod clinics ("local clinics") in 4th year (after interviews) are usually busier than the school ones... because they're PP attendings (although most are affiliated with local residencies). Some are better path; some are boring. It's variable; some teach and others won't unless prompted. Either way, you can absolutely pick up some practice management tips (and probably see some surgery or hospital consulting if you get an attending who does a fair bit of it). Ask for a copy of superbill, observe scripts and office good/bad aspects, ask coding or medical questions when the doc is not busy, etc. When at the Barry clinics, teach 3rd year students exam, presentation, XR reads, etc.
