Mentorship is a great first step on the path to becoming a doctor of podiatric medicine.  This opportunity to follow a DPM at work allows you to see what kind of patients, what kind of issues, and what kind of environments you\u2019ll encounter as a podiatrist.  You can ask questions about the podiatric medical school experience, work life balance, or anything else that you want to know more about the profession.Students who shadow a DPM are often allowed to watch actual patient procedures, discuss potential diagnoses with the physician or permitted to review diagnostic images with the DPM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
