The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Student Chapter provides students with additional information concerning podatric surgery. Throughout the previous academic year the club hosted approximately 15 guest lectures from various residency programs across the country. In addition the club sponsored workshops which enabled students to gain hands on experience. For example, the saw bone and suture workshops were thought and directed by the TUSPM surgical faculty.

Next year the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons Student Chapter is planning to provide more workshops and increase the number of guest lectures. The proposed workshops are as follows: internal fixation workshop, surgical instrumentation orientation workshop, and surgical introduction semesters for first year students.

Treasurer:  Renata Milman
Secretary:  Roshni Patel

The Radiology club "radiated" this year (97-98) for it provided a great learning experience for all who participated in its’ meetings, presentations, and workshops. In the beginning of the year, it immediately "sparked" the interest and enthusiasm of many students and faculty as will with its’ fundraiser’s grand prize (X-ray view box). Additional prizes included mugs and clinical pen lights. Throughout the year, third year student case presentations proved to be a great interactive way of learning among students about unique cases. In addition, periodic lectures from Podiatric physicians concerning such topics as bone scans, MRI, and Nuclear Medicine became a great tool for advancing our knowledge of the available technology. Projects such as MRI workshops for third year students and bone identification workshops for first year students were also a great success. The Radiology club not only provides book knowledge, but hands on experience as well concerning X-ray related topics.
