Course instruction leading to the DPM degree is four years, with the first two years devoted largely to classroom instruction and laboratory work in basic medical sciences, such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and pathology. During the remaining third and fourth years, students concentrate on clinical sciences, gaining experience in college clinics, community clinics and accredited hospitals. Clinical courses include general diagnosis, surgery, anesthesia and operative podiatric medicine.

FDFAC is committed to podiatric education. We are therefore pleased to offer podiatric medical students, residents and fellows the opportunity to observe and rotate through our practice. Since these are the physicians of the future, we hope you will join us in welcoming them to our office.

Student Doctor McCorvey-Bogin is a delightful, thoughtful student whom patients continue to inquire about. We know she will be successful wherever she goes and we wish her all the best in her podiatric career. - Dr. Sanders
