AT THE COLLEGES

Two New Clubs Formed at NYCPM

Among the myriad of clubs at NYCPM, two more clubs have been recently organized: the Asian American Podiatric Student Association and the Podiatric Radiology Club. The Asian American Podiatric Student Association (AAPSA) is a student organization founded in 2011 to reflect the growing number of Asian-American students at NYCPM. Membership is open to all students, not exclusively to Asian American students. The primary focus of AAPSA is to educate and increase awareness of podiatric medicine among Asian-American communities.

The Podiatric Radiology Club is geared toward helping the student body become familiarized with reading radiographs, as well as being able to radiographically identify multiple pathologies. Drs. Randy Cohen and Jose Loor are the advisors to the club, and graciously volunteer their time in order to benefit the students by holding lectures regarding relevant podiatric radiology topics.
