I created this so we can stay in touch with each other; share things you find interesting in your education; bounce ideas off each other; or just anonymously post about whatever. I started to do this but realized it was in the pre-podiatry section and figured we should be over here instead.
Please share what the first couple months have been like. What do you think about the school you chose and what are some things you like or dislike about it?
DMU: This is the end of week 7 for us. We took our third Biochem exam today. We all came out looking like this: We've had five exams in the last three weeks. We are all sleep-deprived, probably full of self-doubt, and have the next exam on our minds: anatomy written and practical. Despite all of this, I love this school. The curriculum is definitely tough but I really enjoy taking classes alongside DOs. I think having an affiliation with a well-established medical institution is doing our profession a lot of good. There are a lot of DO students that I've ran into that really didn't know what we really do. The other day, one of my anatomy lab partners (DO student), asked if we can prescribe medications. I think that goes to show us that in order for our profession to grow, we as first year DPM students need to do our due diligence in spreading the word out about our profession, starting with going back to our alma mater and providing them with resources about your school and the profession you chose to pursue.
Is anyone participating in student clubs?
I am in SCACFAS, ACFAOM, and the podiatry advocacy club. I think joining these clubs and attending their events help me remember what I am here for: to be a darn good foot and ankle surgeon!
I'm just gonna tag some of you from the other thread. If you are in the Class of 2018, please chime in.
