@@vinniebisson969 generally the blame is on how there are way too many pharmacy schools in the USA (128 if i recall correctly) pumping out too many grads. Most pharmacists get stuck in retail/community, which burns out a lot of people, who feel trapped due to their student loan debt. Not enough clinical/hospital/specialty pharmacy jobs available either.

It's of utmost importance to note that only certain countries such as the US allow podiatrists to become surgeons. In countries other than the US, it's not allowed. Unfortunately for me, I only realised this after accepting my offer to study this discipline. I'd say that this is a rather limited field if you're not going to be able to carry out surgical procedures.

I had no idea that podiatry could do so many medical procedures in the US. In Brazil, podiatry is a course that you do for 1 year and a half and it’s not a graduation (that’s why you can’t do residency because it’s not a graduation), actually you only need to complete school to do this course. That’s why it’s very common to see 18-20 years old girls in this profession. But they don’t treat this amount of conditions that shows in the video. In Brazil, the condition that they treat the most is in grown toenails and some skin infections but they can’t prescribe medicines for the patients. Most of the things that a podiatry do in the US are done by orthopedic surgeon in Brazil, only them can do this kind of procedure. Another fun thing compared to Brazil, almost all of the people that do podiatry course are women, like I have never see a man doing podiatry, and Brazil have so many podiatry institutions. And other thing, podiatry doesn’t give you that kind of many in Brazil, actually the people that usually do podiatry are the people that don’t have conditions to pay for college and wants to have a faster study to go straight to job market so they can make money more faster. The monthly fee for podiatry course is 250 reais (48 US dollars) compared to medical school that is 8.000 reais (1600 US dollars), and that’s A LOT of money in Brazil.

question - what's the difference between an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in foot/ankle and a podiatrist? I understand it is different training paths/degrees. Is it similar to an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in spine surgery in comparison to a neurosurgeon specializing in spine surgery - where the training is different paths more or less, but in the end, it's a similar scope of practice but the neurosurgeon leads the more complex/nuanced spine cases? so since orthopaedic surgery training is less focused on foot/ankle in the 5-year residency and more so if one subspecializes in it, versus podiatry training, where the whole education is focused on foot/ankle throughout. Because it's not really how you distinguish between the fields of optometry/ophthalmology, where there are procedural/medical management distinctions. also, I'm interested in this question. are interventional cardiac procedures reserved for interventional cardiologists, interventional neurology procedures for interventional neurologists? like, are there certain boundaries between interventional procedures in the fields of vascular surgery, cardiology, and neurology in comparison to interventional radiology? it's interesting because it seems there is overlap and there are similar conversations in consideration of the range of interventional procedures by distinct field and the other conversation in medicine of PA/NP v. MD/DO autonomy.

@williamheinrich6374 3 жыл бұрын

In regards to podiatry, orthos and pods do many of the same procedures regarding the bones, joints, and ligaments. Pods receive a lot of training in foot and ankle surgery (general ortho, vascular, and plastics, too). However, pods are trained to do wound care, plastic surgery, limb salvage, etc. Some pods also do orthoplastics and neuromicrosurgery on nerve. Orthos F/A can treat/operate on more than just the foot and ankle, while pods are exclusively limited to below the knee surgically in every state. However, in some states (such as California) pods can first assist (like PAs) in any surgery with a MD/DO surgeon. Pods also do medial treatment of conditions such as arthritis and dermatology that ortho typically doesn't do.

@davidlakhter 3 жыл бұрын

@@williamheinrich6374 that's interesting - so pods really know many different procedural skills from different fields, but focused on the foot/ankle. And ortho-foot/ankle is more-so familiar with the bone/ligament aspect of the field and have more general ortho surgical/management experience. So it's interesting how pods are first assists, as it seems in relation to more nuanced cases, they're more versatile in their scope of practice. But maybe the procedures where they first assist are elective in nature, so they evaluate or give their consult on the nuanced aspects besides the bone and ligaments, which ortho is likely well equipt to handle based on prior surgical training duration. So the cases may be given to ortho for more bread/butter bone/ligament cases, while pods work on the complex vascular, neurological, orthoplastics, etc. In this sense, the pods are like the neurosurgeons who specialize in spine surgery, where they take on the complex neurological cases and ortho spine surgeons are like the first assists. And ortho spine surgeons may focus more on the bone/cartilage cases.

@williamheinrich6374 3 жыл бұрын

@@davidlakhter yes, pretty much. Pods definitely do trauma, ligaments, fractures, joint reconstruction, etc. but orthos will predominantly just do that vs everything else pods can do. I would say they have much more of a handle on the neurovascular aspect of the foot and managing med/surgical cases of the F/A than ortho which is why they can do all F/A Ortho plus wounds and limb salvage.
