Public Town Hall on Board Certification
In March, APMA held the Board Certification Summit following the House of Delegates meeting in Washington DC. Attendance was fairly limited due to the Summit occurring on a Monday and at a location where not many DPMs were.
Newly announced: there will be a public Town Hall on podiatric board certification at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville this Friday, July 14, from 7:30-9:30 PM in Jackson E/F Rooms. Beer and wine will be served. Sign up on this link:

"Open Letter to Prospective Medical Students" Dr. Patrick DeHeer
Podiatry Today recently published an open letter to prospective students on the personal and professional benefits of podiatry, authored by Dr. Patrick DeHeer, (residency director, former NBA team podiatrist, and member of the APMA Board of Trustees).
One of his most compelling arguments is that you can choose (and be guaranteed) your specialty when entering professional school, whereas in some medical professions, like doctors of osteopathy, only 50% get their first-choice specialty...

Diabetic Shoes are Worthless
I talk a lot of crap on these forums so I wanted to make an actual post for a change. We love to complain about the job market and how ridiculous schooling is. I want to zero in on something else that is deserving of our scorn: diabetic shoes.
In a nutshell, I don’t believe diabetic shoes do anything. I know a lot of ink has been spilled on papers “proving” that they are effective in preventing ulcers, just like how there were some really well designed studies backing up the Cartiva...

I thought OMM would make me a rockstar at USMLE MSK questions. I was wrong.
It seems like a lot of my friends and I struggle with MSK on USMLE because it feels like the OPP COMAT writers purposely design OMM content to be non-overlapping with USMLE MSK content.
Here is a list of USMLE MSK content I can come up with that NEVER shows up on OPP COMAT:
SCFE
LCP
Charcot marie tooth syndrome
Metabolic/neurological causes of ataxia
Diabetic MSK foot changes
Developmental dysplasia of the hip
I also BARELY see questions about ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, RA, etc

Answer for benefit-risk question for use of statins as a risk factor for developing diabetes reflects positivity- benefit still outweighs risk: dose, varying time and type of statin matters.
