Working as a group, students solve carefully selected actual and simulated clinical problems. Students interact with other members of the health care team, such as primary care physicians, specialists and students in other health care programs. Emphasis is on podiatric medicine as an integral part of total health care. Most of the institutions offering clinical training also offer postdoctoral residency programs. While selection for residencies is competitive, CPMS students have the advantage of extensive fourth-year clinical experiences.
Many students receive residencies where they completed their clinical training.
The College conducts postdoctoral residency programs in primary care podiatric medicine, podiatric surgery and podiatric orthopedics. The College offers a program of study in Health Care Administration that leads to a Master of Health Care Administration degree. The program is designed to supplement and improve the skills of health care managers, administrators and supervisors. Practical applications are emphasized. All courses are offered on weekends and evenings.
