Second-year courses and clinical experiences consist of Pathology, Pharmacology, Essential Skills Experience, Biomechanics, Clinical Biomechanics and Sports Medicine, Introduction to Clinical Medicine, Peripheral Vascular Diseases, Dermatology, Podiatric Surgery and Anesthesiology, and Principles of Podiatric Radiology. The introductory Essential Skills Experience consists of orthosis fabrication, operating room techniques, clinical laboratory skills, anesthesia administration, clinical problem-solving activities, orthopedic workshops, radiology workshops, and closely supervised patient care of a palliative nature. The first part of the third year consists of courses in Podiatric Radiology, Neurology, Advanced Podiatric Surgery, Orthopedic Diseases, Practice Management and Jurisprudence, Medicine, and Pediatric Orthopedics. The remainder of the third year is spent in required, affiliated, and elective clinical clerkship experiences, all of which may include didactic sessions such as conferences, clinical case presentations, and lectures. Students spend their entire fourth year participating in required, affiliated, and elective clinical experiences. These clinical experiences take place at academic health science centers and community hospitals, on the Scholl College campus, at local area clinical facilities, and other affiliated programs outside of the Chicago area.
