Spanish Podologists Gain Dissection and Surgical Skills at NYCPM
Thirteen podologists from Spain spent a week at NYCPM this summer learning anatomical dissection and surgical skills in the College's state-of-the-art Bako Anatomy Lab. Michael J. Trepal, DPM ('81), Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, directs the semi-annual program of visiting podologists from Spain for the College. Professors Ricardo Becerro de Bengoa Vallejo, DPM, PhD, a 1995 graduate of NYCPM, and Marta Los Iglesias, PhD, work with Dr. Trepal to direct the program. Both course directors accompanied the students, as did Professor Juan Carlos Carrera Merino, BS Podiatry. NYCPM's Dr. Trepal, Kevin Jules, DPM ('84), and Anthony DiLandro, EdD, taught the students as well. The course work involved lower extremity cadaver dissection as well as videotaped demonstrations.

Getting to Know Podiatry
During the first week of August, NYCPM once again introduced a select cohort of undergraduate students to the exciting opportunities available in podiatric medicine. The 12 participants in our Pre-Health Internship Program, from all over the U.S., were active learners; they participated in hands-on workshops, talks and mini-sessions with many College faculty, staff and students.
Pre-health interns show off their molds after working with
Dr. Loretta Logan in her casting workshop.
The interns were introduced to many aspects of podiatric medicine, including suturing, anatomy, gait analysis, podopeds and sports medicine, among others. They also had opportunities to travel to private practices in the city and to shadow DPMs, as well as to visit Lincoln Hospital to observe their rotations.
