http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podiatrist Basically, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. lol ok. But that doesn't answer my question. Thanks for the insight though.
If you really like feet then I guess it's fine. There's some overlap between podiatrists and orthopedics- leg specialists. I'd rather go to an ortho any day. Podiatrists end up treating a lot of diabetic foot problems. Boring and kinda gross IMHO. Anything major surgery wise a plastics or ortho person could do it.
Bump... Are any of ya'll in health care administration? I have a friend who finished her degree in Public Health and looking to get her Masters in HA. Are online MHA programs legit?
I had a few friends that went to Strayer University .. . . how the school is viewed and how legit it is . . .i dunno just know that they went there online Rocket River
As a dual degree holder (MHA/MBA) my advice is for her to get substantial experience in healthcare first (if she hasn't) and THEN pursue a Masters if her next position calls for it. This is speaking from experience.
