Fellowships aren’t for everyone and you shouldn’t need one to be competent in normal podiatric medicine and surgery. But some individuals are driven to achieve levels beyond standard competence and strive to make the profession a better place.
I did a fellowship with Prof. David Armstrong 2006-2007 at the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Diabetic Limb Salvage and Research.
I did it to be mentored by Dr. Armstrong and gain experience in academics and research. I can honestly say that it has greatly benefitted me throughout my career, in opportunities and income.
I’m sure this thread will generate comments from the standard SDN-naysayers who will belittle fellowships. But they don’t have much positive to say about anything.
