Pedro Aldape Esquivel, a third-year
Western University College of Podiatric Medicine student, was awarded the
Gary P. Jolly Lifelong Learner Award. Student doctor Esquivel is the fifth recipient of the award that is given annually to a CPM student who has exemplified the late Dr. Jolly’s appreciation for continuing to learn.
Jolly was often quoted as saying “Education is not preparation for life:

Pedro Aldape Esquivel Receives Gary Jolly Award and Endowment
|
|
Education is life itself!” The annual recipient who is selected demonstrates that same love of learning, above and beyond what is experienced in the classroom.
Esquivel was selected for the award because of his many activities beyond what is required in the rigorous curriculum at Western University.
Dr. Jolly, who passed in 2010, had a profound effect on many of the residents and students he taught. The Jolly Lifelong Learner Award was established in 2012 by one of his former residents,
Kathleen Satterfield, DPM and her husband, Timothy, and has been funded by the couple for the first five years of its existence. This year, they will appeal to the hundreds of DPMs enriched by their experiences with Dr. Jolly to create an endowment. “I was surprised that an endowment can be created for such a small amount, only $20,000, and has grown from there.”

Experience the Residency Rumble...for Free!
|
|
|
PRESENT e-Learning Systems, our longtime valued Partner is once again extending their generous offer to APMSA members to attend their upcoming Podiatric Residency Education Summit Conferences for FREE. This is a great opportunity for forward thinking students to attend THE central annual gathering of the podiatric residency education community, to meet residents, residency directors, and attendings at residency programs in a comfortable, collegial setting.
|
|
|
You will get to walk around a packed Exhibit Hall with companies showing the latest surgical and wound care technology, and sit in on a Lecture Program carefully curated for podiatrists in residency training. It is a great opportunity for you to learn what is most important among all that you are learning in podiatry school. You can also observe the Residency Rumble that you’ve heard about. This academic game show that residents from 100 programs take part in each year is a wild and fun event, but actually consists of questions submitted by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine from past board exams and therefore does serve a great educational purpose for you.
