i don't think you can compare the F&A orthopod offer to a DPM's offer because they are two different specialties. Even if the employer is an orthopoedic group, the DPM's offer is always less for various reasons: mainly the fact that we can't take general calls, obviously less reimbursment per procedure, etc.
However, I have read that many F&A orthopod fellowships go unfilled, maybe you can explain this to me further - but generally the spine, knee, hip ones don't have that problem.
I am eager to understand this also b/c there are 51 fellowship positions according to the American Orthopedic Surgeon site. I wonder how many are unfilled each year???
