In a ceremony filled with anticipation and joy, members of the NYCPM Class of 2023 donned their new white coats in front of proud families and friends at the New York Academy of Medicine on August 21st. The 95 first-year students (the Class of 2023 actually numbers 103 students, including those who started in January) had been welcomed with a Hudson River cruise on the previous Saturday, went through orientation, and then slipped into the most tangible and visible symbols of the medical profession.

Trepal, DPM welcomed the students and introduced all on stage, including Dan Kline, executive director of NYSPMA, and Loretta Logan, DPM, Chair of the Admissions Committee.

NY Podiatrist's Foundation Donates Backpacks to Primary School Students
Thanks to a new partnership between the Elmsford Police Department and the Heavenly Productions Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Armonk, NY, every student in the Pre-K through first grade school received a free backpack and notebook. The generosity did not end there, as the organization also provided the school with 60 new books for its library and a cache of school supplies for the classrooms including pencils, pens, crayons, art supplies, and more.

NY Podiatrist Discusses Best Shoes for Nurses
“You now see all kinds of medical professionals on hospital floors wearing running shoes that are designed to stand up to a lot of stress and strain,” says Karen Langone, DPM, a podiatrist based in Southampton, New York. Clogs are also a good choice, says Howard Friedman, DPM, a Suffern, New York-based podiatrist. They tend to have a wide toe box, which helps accommodate feet as they naturally expand throughout the day.
 |
|
Drs. Karen Langone and Howard Friedman |
This is why you often see surgeons and other health professionals wearing them in the operating room, Dr. Friedman says. You also need a shoe that's durable but also lightweight—after all, you're probably clocking several miles a day around the hospital, so you need a shoe that won't wear out or wear you down. And, you need a slip-resistant sole.

6 Technologies to Improve Your Practice - Part 2
Six technologies have profound impacts on patient engagement and practice workflow, according to a new report. The report from Medical Group Management Association and Cedar found these technologies have helped improve the patient-physician relationship, mitigate rising costs, and address the challenges of patient consumerism. Other added benefits include improved connectivity, streamlined accessibility, elimination of paper documents and financial gains from a simplified billing process.
2. Automated Appointment Reminder Systems - 88% of organizations use automated reminder systems (ARS). ARS has contributed to more rescheduled appointments instead of no-shows.
