All the words in all the threads on this forum cannot substitute for actually stepping foot on a campus or in a clinic and really getting a feel for a place in person. Aside from coming to TUSPM for an interview we thought we'd make you all aware of some upcoming events that you may be interested in. It's also another way for you to speak with some of us current students directly, in person.

Of course we, making this post, are only students so if you have specific questions about these events you may want to direct them towards [email protected]. We just wanted to make you all aware of them. You can also keep up to date with TUSPM events at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. Good luck with your applications everybody.

TUSPM Pre-Health Professions Day (Open House)

TUSPM will be hosting an Open House on Saturday November 18th 2017 from 10:00 am - 1:30 pm. Typically administrators and students from Temple Pharmacy and Dental programs co-host the event and join TUSPM for a question and answer session as well as provide information on their respective programs. Interested prepods can RSVP at TUSPM 2017 Pre-Professional Health Day or email [email protected]

TUSPM Winter Internship
TUSPM will be hosting a Winter Internship Program from January 2nd - January 5th 2018. Participants will have the opportunities to (1) shadow podiatric physicians and student doctors in hospitals, clinics, and private practice settings and (2) attend workshops and lecture presentations. The objective of the program is to provide a synopsis of the academic program and practice opportunities. Interested prepods can apply at: Internship Programs | School of Podiatric Medicine

Parking in the TUSPM lot will be free if you make admissions aware that you will be driving in advance. For the Pre-Health Professions Day this can be done when registering through the Eventbrite link above. For internships parking is also provided, just make sure that they know you will be driving in.

For any of these events specific parking instructions are provided after you register, close to the date of the event.

I'm very interested in the internship. How competitive is admission for the program?

No, how difficult admission to the internship program was.

Thank you!
In addition, current seniors or graduates who attend the Winter Internship (or rising seniors or beyond who attend the Summer Internship) will be given the opportunity for a formal interview during the internship period so that they won't have to return to TUSPM later that cycle for another interview.
