In this episode of Dean's Chat, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen interviews three fourth-year students from the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine who will be graduating soon. Ashley Starr, Alina Tran, and Chase Levin share their experiences and excitement for their upcoming surgical residency training. They also discuss the recent Match Day, where they found out which residency programs they were matched with. Tune in to hear more about their journey and future in podiatric medicine! In this episode, the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine students stress the importance of building and maintaining strong relationships within the podiatry community. They emphasize that the podiatry community is relatively small, resulting in a tight-knit network where everyone knows each other. This interconnectedness presents valuable opportunities for connections and networking. Dr. Jensen chats with the students about their mindset when signing up for clerkships and how they chose where to go for their clerkships. Dr. Jensen also asks the students questions about the interview process and their experiences throughout the application process.  The students highlight how these relationships can positively impact various aspects of a podiatry career, such as receiving advice on research articles or obtaining recommendations for residency programs. They emphasize that it's not just about academic achievements or personality, but also about the connections one has within the podiatry community.   https://aacpm.org/ https://go.midwestern.edu/podiatric-medicine Dean's Chat Website  Dean's Chat Episodes  Dean's Chat Blog Why Podiatric Medicine?  Become a Podiatric Physician
