What impressed you positively?

"DMU is the lead ambassador for podiatry as far as I’m concerned. They push the envelope and advocate. Other schools were combative when I talked about parity. Those other schools are happy just cutting toenails I guess. Taking classes with the DO students makes DMU a class act as well." Report Response
