NYCPM Faculty Play Key Role in Curriculum Guide Development

Recently the Council of Faculties representing all nine Colleges of Podiatric Medicine completed a monumental curriculum project culminating in a guide which details learning objectives across the entire undergraduate podiatric medical curriculum. NYCPM had six faculty play key roles. Each has received a letter from the AACPM acknowledging their contributions. They include: Kenneth Astrin, PhD, Robert Bressler, PhD, Eileen Chusid, PhD, Anthony D'Antoni, PhD, Anthony Iorio, DPM, MPH, Loretta Logan, DPM.
