Foot & Ankle symposium
In one month – one day, DMU will begin hosting the Foot & Ankle Symposium again. This is SUCH a great event for our students and grads. The course directors are grads as are many of the Symposium speakers — it’s a great time to see classmates and colleagues, learn about new treatments and network.
It’s a 2-day event, including meals and only costs $100, or $25 for students. Register here.

Fourth-year in DMU’s CPMS
by Tea Nguyen
Every podiatry school has a unique curriculum regarding rotations during fourth-year. For DMU students, it’s fairly straightforward but is ever-changing year to year. Here’s how it went for the class of 2011.
In the middle of your third-year, you select where you want to spend your rotations and you need to fill 11 months, leaving you one month for vacation (any month you choose). Fourth-year rotations start in June 2010 and end in May 2011. Most people will also have all of June prior to residency off too so some will choose to do an elective in lieu of vacation.

When are you a doc?
by Tea Nguyen
My best friend just told me he thought I was in residency…I wish! But that was my own fault for not clarifying what the path to podiatry really is. He’s in a different field and I forget how confusing medicine can really be for others, even my closest friends. Here’s a quick break down of the D.P.M. timeline:
1. You are born.
2. You decide to go into medicine. (roughly, age 0 to 100)
3. You complete undergrad degree/ pre-med prerequisite. (4 years)
