Getting their foot in the door…

Students are at the center of what we do. You can find our students researching new practices of podiatric medicine, volunteering in the community, leading others, and bettering themselves. Here is a glimpse of their life as a Podiatric Medical student at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±app.

Student Doctors of the Month May 2024

Each month the Student Government Association for the respective DPM cohorts asks their classmates to nominate a colleague for Student of the Month. The students select their classmates with reasoning as to why that individual embodies those characteristics. The criteria for winning Student of the Month must correlate with the demonstration of humanism, diligence, and optimism.
