The median podiatric physician earns $152,800 a year, and the top earners make more than $239,000 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2024) - placing a DPM among the higher-earning entry points in medicine. We also believe you should see the full cost before you commit. Your total program tuition is fixed the day you enroll and won't increase as long as you stay on track - no mid-program hikes, no surprise fees. And most students don't pay out of pocket: podiatric students qualify for federal loan programs that can cover up to your full cost of attendance, and 85% of our DPM students receive financial aid.
