The USMLE debate rages in. The nitwits who negotiated the “white paper” without authority are busily putting out the excuses for their stupidity in PM News.
Now they tell us this will be a 10-15 year project. Yes sir. Another podiatry project bullshit.
Perhaps if the APMA “leadership” weren’t too busy stuffing their own personal pockets with money from TALAR, FASMA, PICA, running coding and practice management programs, getting themselves in as consultants and lecturers, this profession would have already achieved competency in medicine.
However, the self serving stuff my pocket actions of the APMA continue.
Nothing will change. Jeffrey Lehrman will continue to follow the footsteps of Warren Joseph, making a living consulting and lecturing under the cover of the APMA.
APMA BOD members will continue to mysteriously appear as lecturers grabbing corporate money at your education expense.
Lawrence Santi will continue to dribble. And there will continue to be suckers who pay the APMA with a “thank you may I have another” blindness.
USMLE ? Are you kidding ? USMLE ?
Project 2035 ? Is that the new holy grail of podiatry ? Change the schools to the liking of M.D.’s.
Change the residencies to the satisfaction of the M.D.’s. Let the AAOS show the world that the lower podiatry MCATs translates to lower USMLE scores ?
Two items to consider. Why are dentists successful without doing these things ? The other; why are there no more (as in none) osteopathic residencies ? Why were they eliminated ?
Tell you what Ira Krause and Jeffrey DeSantis. Go back to what you do best. Huckstering podiatrists and corporations in the Shore and Sherman spirits.
Stay out of academics, a black hole in your noggin.
USMLE and podiatry. This will do nothing for podiatry. It will however give the AOFAS the evidence it requires to show the rest of medicine “see, we told you so. Inferior”.
This is the perfect storm to end podiatry. No 1 …. Podiatry and its colleges will never change the curriculum to meet usmle guidelines and more importantly never will have the students with the aptitude to pass the test. No. 2… The AMA and ortho foot and ankle MDs know what they are doing, ok you want to be called physicians , PASS THE USMLE, USE OUR STANDRADS OF MEDICAL EDUCATION, they know it wont happen. NO 3…There is NO WAY ,,,NO WAY that POD residents can pass USMLE step 3. Thats it, simple formula for self destruction. APMA dug… Read more »
All your points are valid “dpm stupidity”. Once again podiatry tried to “sneak under the tent” without the requisite education or rotations. Biomechquactics won’t help with biochemistry and pods will get an AWAKENING (true wokeness) when they read the USMLE questions and find their courses were vastly diluted. Let’s not even talk about NEUROANATOMY OR TRUE ANATOMY ABOVE THE KNEE. You are correct ‘dpm’. The AMA put out the bait and the TECHS bit. Watch what you ask for. THE TRUE INCOMPETENCE AND INFERIORITY OF THE WTF CERTIFICATE WILL BE PROVEN WHEN PODS FLUNK THE MD EXAM. Hell, HALF FLUNK… Read more »
They can cover corpse – they have license to pronounce it!
It’s bad news being a NY foot technician. The most simpleton stories come from NY. Podiatrist Tabari says wash your feet. Yeah those Ny-ers are doctors all right. 40+ years and desperate for biz pods still advertise nonsense and silliness. Did you know that the FEW pods that can touch an ankle in NY need a SPECIAL CERTIFICATE OF PERMISSION? Maybe “name withheld” is a NYer. Doesn’t matter. All foot techs are non doctors. ‘Name withheld’ asks about a 2nd toe implant wondering what went wrong and what to do. See, podiatrists go to school for 7 years and study… Read more »
Thought it was abt washing those feet thoroughly. That was what Shylock printed in the propaganda “news”
Maybe the USMLE is the SUICIDE PILL PODIATRY NEEDS. Like you said Seth, the AAOS can say, see we told you they’re inferior quacks. And yes the politicos just BOUGHT ANOTHER 15 years of somedays, hope, working hard, dinners dues meetings. Life is good for the podiatric politician. They themselves never strive to be DOCTORS. They’ve reached their goal of perpetual political procrastination.
It’s the annual maybe someday white paper illusion dream potentially acround the corner yammer. It helps keep the dues and fees rolling in with a maybe talk. Never EVER gonna happen. Just more podiatrick propaganda. Podiatry was simply a flunky flatulent field of hucksters and hustlers.
was? IS!
Use past tense bc podiatry was done. There is no is. Podiatry was over.
Why need USLME? Dr.Shalveson writes”In my opinion,the well trained and practiced podiatrist foot surgeon sits a top pyramid of those performing rehabilitation and monitoring human movement and ankle surgery utilizing bio-architectural and biomechanics principles and methodology “ But you need note cut toenails and write diabetic shoes….
SHAVELSON EXEMPLIFIES THE REFINED RHETORIC OF A NEW YORK SALESMAN. AFTER 40 YEARS OF NEW YORK FLIM FLAM ARCH SUPPORTS SALES AND CONNING HE MOVED TO FLORIDA WHERE HE CAN TELL EVERYONE WHAT A GREAT HUMAN MOVEMENT SURGEON HE WAS…..EVEN THOUGH HE SOLD SUPPORTS AND SHOES. THERE’S A THREAD OF DELUSIONAL CROOKS AND LIARS IN PODIATRY THAT WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP PODIATRY A MEDICAL BUSINESS INSTEAD OF A MEDICAL PROFESSION..
I read that absurdity from Dr. Shavalson. Does he still wear an earring in one ear or both ears ?
His foot typing shit is silly nonsense.
It’s not silly if your goal is to make money at any cost. Everything else is superficial. Once the $ is in your account the ends justified the means. That’s the NYC philosophy. It’s not “just do it” , It’s “just get it”!
