UNCF Scholarship Enables College Student to Matriculate to TUSPM
Sophia Jacobs knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, one of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF)’s member institutions, because the school “is known for sisterhood and Black excellence,” she said. “I wanted to be a part of this legacy to uplift the mission of changing the world for the better.” While at Spelman, Jacobs received the Slater-Millner Scholars Fund, administered by UNCF. Dr. Nancy Slater and Dr. Alan Millner developed the scholarship to provide financial assistance to sophomores who are on a pre-med track with a demonstrated interest in serving underserved communities.

In May 2025, Jacobs graduated from Spelman with a bachelor of science in biology, on the pre-medical track. She is now preparing to enter Temple University’s School of Podiatric Medicine for doctoral studies. She plans to become a practicing podiatrist focusing on diabetic wound care, limb salvage, or sports medicine.

During his remarks, Dr. Baker shared stories from his 21-year military career, including enduring intense heat and physical strain while undergoing a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape training program during the Cold War era. During his naval podiatry career, Baker served at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, from 1995-1999. He was also a podiatrist to the U.S. Congress and to the White House.

Stop Guessing, Start Profiting
Unlock hidden insights in your practice's data to boost revenue, streamline operations, and enhance patient care with simple, effective strategies
1. Spot no-show patterns.
Run a 12-month export of appointment data and sort by day, time, and visit type. If Monday afternoon new-patient physicals cancel 18% of the time, double-book the slot or trigger extra reminders. For step-by-step tactics, see this rundown on simple methods to reduce no-shows.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (STUDENT RECRUITMENT)- PART 1A | |
From: Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM
Podiatry camp sounds like a good option to me. In my other career (veterinary medicine), many of the schools have had them for years. They are generally targeted to 12-13 year-olds because in the veterinary side; research has shown that most students have made the decision to go into veterinary medicine by age 13. I do not know what this number would be in podiatry since most students do not know who we are! But if the APMA advertising campaign is successful, offering camps would be a great follow-up.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (STUDENT RECRUITMENT) - PART 1B | |
From: Arden Smith, DPM
As I am getting older, I tend to try not to tax my aging brain too much and try to keep things as simple as possible. My own experience from years of dealing with “kids”, tells me that our recruitment program should deal with four basic related points; and then go on from there as needed:
-You are a DOCTOR, a noble and honored profession.
-You get to help people and do good.
-You have an opportunity to earn an extremely good living while you are helping people and doing good, at the same time [that's a gift that very few people have].
-Our profession is conducive to a good family life as well as a very good and rewarding lifestyle.
Simple. Once we have their attention, we can go from there.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (PM ARTICLES) | |
From: Joseph Borreggine, DPM
The recent article on the Stark Law is very important and informative for all medical providers to read and ultimately understand with respect to the day-to-day operations of running a medical practice, working cooperation as a medical referral source, as well as being an employee in a more than two person (group) medical practice. This law is meant to not only protect the Medicare system from fraud and abuse which can be deemed direct or indirect but also provide government regulation and guidelines preventing physicians from being paid inappropriately whether in a small group or larger corporate practice setting.
I commented on this subject a while ago in this publication and did not get one response; either because 1) every reader was either fully knowledgeable of what I was talking about or 2) was completely ignorant of my comments with respect to payment for “designated health services” (DHS) in a group...
Editor's note: Dr. Borreggine's extended-length letter can be read here.
