So, I think I have figured out why there is such a huge gap in terms of info available online with regards to salary for podiatrists.
If you google podiatrist salary in whatever state you're interested in you will see a very conservative estimate in the 100 thousands. Now, if you enter the words podiatric surgeon, you see very different numbers. On one site I saw an AVERAGE of over 380K.
Are there any residents who are applying for jobs currently or attending physicians who can speak on this? All residency programs are now surgical, so how does that work? Do you just look for jobs depending on whether you intend to actually do surgical cases or not? And I suppose compensation differs depending on whether you found a job doing strictly routine care as opposed to a position in a hospital setting, for example, where surgical cases would be available more frequently?
