Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine Campuses

The Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, located at its main campus in North Chicago, offers a comprehensive curriculum focused on podiatric medicine and surgery. As part of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, the college is dedicated to training future podiatrists with a strong emphasis on clinical skills, research, and patient care. The primary program offered is the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), a rigorous four-year degree that prepares students for careers in diagnosing and treating conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower extremities.

• Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM): This flagship program includes foundational sciences, clinical rotations, and hands-on training in podiatric surgery, biomechanics, and orthopedics. Students gain experience through state-of-the-art simulation labs and real-world clinical settings.
• Basic Biomedical Sciences: Courses in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology provide a strong scientific foundation for understanding the human body and its functions, with a focus on lower extremity health.
• Clinical Sciences and Rotations: Students participate in extensive clinical training, working directly with patients under the supervision of experienced faculty in areas such as wound care, sports medicine, and diabetic foot care.
• Research Opportunities: The college encourages students to engage in research projects related to podiatric medicine, fostering innovation and advancements in the field.

In addition to the core curriculum, the campus provides access to interprofessional education, allowing students to collaborate with peers from other health science programs. This holistic approach ensures graduates are well-prepared to address complex health challenges and contribute to the broader medical community with expertise in podiatric care.
