Prolly going to get flamed from 17 different angles over this topic, but I was wondering if anyone knows about a potential DPM to DO route? Current 3rd year student. Was once jaded by school/career outlook (yes, I know it is too early to be jaded compared to some of you guys are on here who have been in the game for awhile), however, I am now less jaded-ish. I said some stupid stuff in the past out of haste that I regret. I thoroughly enjoy the field of podiatry and enjoy about 95% of the aspects of it. That being said, I was wondering if there is any benefit to spending the extra money, time, and effort to obtain a DO or even an MD on top of a DPM. Guess I could justify it if it meant ~$80-$100k/yr in income (if thats even accurate). Not that it means anything, but I do well and am near the top of my class (guess it may only matter in terms of admission into another degree program?).
Just genuinely curious. I know it would be a lot of work, money, time, and effort. Even if there is a pathway, I am very unlikely to pursue it, because like I said, I enjoy the field of podiatry and want to make it my career (obviously). Spare me the lecturing about how I am an idiot for even considering it or bringing it up, I already know that. Any info or legitimate insight/advice is appreciated on the topic. Thanks all.
