I'm seriously considering podiatric medical school, mainly NYCPM since I currently reside in NYC. I've been perusing these these forums for a while now, but I'm having trouble finding how different states differ in their scope of practice. I understand New York recently extended Podiatrist's scope of practice to include the ankle, but are there any states that go further like everything below the knee? I'm assume your services would be more in demand to orthopedic groups if you lived in a state with greater scope. I am of the opinion that Podiatry is a great field and is definitely currently expanding, but I'm curious how most residents find employment since I don't see that many job advertisements on most job sites. I know the jobs are definitely out there, since it seems like every hospital employs at least 2-4 or more podiatrists (some of the major hospitals have 10 or more on staff) and I'm sure some move or retire. Has anyone had luck in contacting or cold calling different hospitals or practices?
