Aspiring Podiatric Physician,
Thank you for your interest in 91传媒在线's College of Podiatric Medicine. I commend you for taking this crucial step in your professional journey, and I know that KSUCPM can provide you with the knowledge and tools to succeed as a DPM.
At KSUCPM, we are guided by our mission to educate students who will become an inclusive and dynamic group of leaders in the field of podiatric medicine and surgery, be life-long learners, excel in residency, and provide compassionate care to individuals from all backgrounds.
That mission shapes everything we do, from admissions criteria to curriculum design and delivery. The broad range of experiences and perspectives within our professional staff, faculty, and student body strengthens our impact in healthcare, something we are incredibly proud of.
KSUCPM is recognized worldwide as the largest and one of the oldest colleges of podiatric medicine. We have a long history of graduating DPMs who practice around the country as residency directors, researchers, faculty members, and mentors. Our campus鈥檚 location fosters a convenient educational integration with several prestigious teaching hospitals, notably the Cleveland Clinic, the University Hospital system, and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. It's also worth noting our unique experience abroad in Arezzo, Italy, reserved for fourth-year students.
While we are a college of 91传媒在线, KSUCPM鈥檚 campus is located in a suburb of Cleveland, Independence, Ohio. In addition to being a medical hub, Cleveland features an enormous array of cultural, historical, and social attractions, which makes it easy to call CLE home.
Beyond the campus, we are committed to serving both local and global communities. Many of our students volunteer to advance the field of podiatric medicine, partnering with our admissions team and faculty clinicians to mentor aspiring physicians at various educational levels.
We promote wholeness, wellness, and a sense of connection with the world and with each other so our students can lead meaningful lives as medical professionals. Given the opportunity to grow, our students discover their sense of purpose and embrace lifelong learning.
I encourage you to browse the admissions webpage and explore the many resources and opportunities available at KSUCPM. I wish you the best in your professional endeavors and look forward to interacting with you soon.
