APMA News:
You all are so busy. What motivated you to take time out of
your schedules to return to your undergraduate schools?
Corona:
As an undergraduate student with an interest in clinical
medicine, I had heard about podiatry as a career option but
never took interest until I serendipitously met a local podiatrist, Sanjay Patel, DPM. His enthusiasm for the field registered
my interest. I researched on my own, gratefully accepted his
offer to shadow him, and the rest is history, as they say. Dr.
Patel took his time to share this wonderful career-I feel that
I owe it to him and this profession to do the same.
Martucci:
As a premedical student, my exposure to podiatry was
non-existent. I believe one of the most important ways to increase awareness of podiatry is having students return to their
alma maters. I wanted to make sure students leaving my college were well-informed about podiatric medicine as a career.
Miner:
I have always been interested in medicine, and during college, I was exposed to the typical options-allopathic, osteopathic, dental, and veterinary medical schools. After receiving

my undergraduate degree from Carnegie Mellon University, I
decided to put medical school on hold to pursue my passion for
clinical research at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda,
MD. During my time there, I planned to apply to allopathic and
osteopathic medical schools. It wasn't until I was at a doctor's
appointment with my mother, a Type 1 diabetic with an open
ulcer on her foot, that I realized that podiatry was a specialty
with its own medical schools.
The fact that I was not exposed to the field of podiatry during
my time at Carnegie Mellon made me realize that other smart,
qualified candidates may not be aware of all their options when
choosing their medical career. This experience prompted me to
reach out to my health professions advisor.
APMA News:
Tell us more about how you set up the visits. What resources
were helpful?
Corona:
I contacted my prehealth advisor at my undergraduate institution, whom I had kept contact with since I completed my
undergraduate education. He was very accommodating in arranging dates that were mutually convenient for my schedule
and the undergraduate students' [schedules]. The [American
Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine] provided a
PowerPoint presentation that delivered the most pertinent,
relevant information to the students-as well as the opportunity to customize the presentation and describe the day-to-day
life of a podiatry student.
Martucci:
I had heard from [APMA Past President] Dan Davis, DPM,
that grants were available for students to return to their alma
maters to speak on behalf of the profession. I submitted an
inquiry to APMA [and received the grant], and my school
