Students engage in a purposeful problem-solving and critical thinking approach to learning and interact with all academic leadership and faculty for mentorship and support. The result is a school culture of teamwork that goes beyond the classroom, with clinical preparation featuring live standardized patient actors rather than dummies, helping students learn how to interact and talk with patients. The curriculum builds clinical confidence with teamwork-based case assignments and early clinical opportunities at the on-campus WesternU Health Foot and Ankle Center, where they get hands-on experience with the community. And with plenty of clinical and bench research opportunities, you\u2019ll have the chance to collaborate with other colleagues and get published in the process.<\/p>\n  \n          <a class=\"group mt-28 flex items-center text-18 font-bold text-red hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernu.edu\/podiatricmedicine\/academics\/curriculum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Curriculum\n      <span class=\"fill-red-light ml-12 text-base transition-all group-hover:translate-x-8\">\n      <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"1em\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><!--!
