Student Life
Getting their foot in the door…
Students are at the center of what we do. You can find our students researching new practices of podiatric medicine, volunteering in the community, leading others, and bettering themselves. Here is a glimpse of their life as a Podiatric Medical student at WesternU.
Student Doctor of the Month March 2025
Each month the Student Government Association for the respective DPM cohorts asks their classmates to nominate a colleague for Student of the Month. The students select their classmates with reasoning as to why that individual embodies those characteristics. The criteria for winning Student of the Month must correlate with the demonstration of humanism, diligence, and optimism.
“Negin goes above and beyond in everything she does from the classroom to how she interacts with her patients and other students that rotate with her. She is a team player and is always willing to help others and cheer them on. She always has an amazing attitude and deserves to be recognized for her efforts.”
Clubs and Organizations
Explore an array of opportunities outside the classroom through student organizations and leadership roles. Whether students are drawn to national associations or unique special interest clubs, our diverse options let them connect with peers who share their passions. Joining executive boards, engaging with the Student Government Association, or representing renowned societies to develop vital skills and advocate for causes they are passionate about is only the beginning of what students get involved in.
