Message from the Dean
Consider Joining Tomorrow's Healthcare Team
Welcome to the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine!
I wish to extend an enthusiastic welcome to you, whether you have just discovered podiatric medicine or have been planning a career in Podiatric Medicine for years.
Our mission is simple: The Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine (AZCPM) will prepare quality students to enter residency through rigorous education and training, and to exceed professional standards. Over the years our students have matched with top residency programs throughout the country.
The vision of AZCPM is to demonstrate excellence in podiatric medical education. We strive to cultivate diversity and promote professionalism in an interdisciplinary environment through exemplary:
- Curriculum
- Service to community
- Scholarly activity
- Patient care
- Post-doctoral education
Our rigorous curriculum will require great focus and commitment. We will assist you as much as possible along the way to maximize your potential through committed, accessible faculty, pairing you with a more experienced student who will serve as a guide, a podiatric faculty mentor, and tutoring and counseling as needed. One of the keys to success in the medical school curriculum is not falling behind!
And, when you leave here as a podiatric physician, you will be confident and well-prepared to tackle the challenges of residency training. We have an excellent support staff eager to help you and outstanding student leadership to guide you along the path. You will have access to great resources on campus and motivating clinical rotations off campus.
If you have questions or concerns, please call, or email the school as I want your exposure to AZCPM and Midwestern University to be a truly excellent experience.
