Educational Technology: Virtual reality training, the Digital Doctor’s Bag ®
Early Entry Clinical Training: Starting in the first semester students work with standardized patients in the Clinical
Skills Lab. An electronic medical record system (EMR) in the Clinical Skills Lab ensures that
learners will be competent in EMR data entry when they begin rotations in the third-year.
Embedded Education: If you are going to have the privilege of treating and operating on patients, our
philosophy is that you should be a physician first and a specialist next. Therefore
you learn alongside your DO colleagues, developing respect for yourself and the profession
as the interprofessional team realizes you studied the same material they did. You
create lifelong friendships among the other healthcare providers.
J and K Virtual Reality Center: Designed to broaden your understanding and retention of anatomy and anatomical functions
using the Anatomage Virtual Dissection table as well as other advanced educational
technology.
Residency Placement: CPM has the highest residency placement in the country! 100% of grads are placed
year after year. When you become a member of the Western University family, you will
enjoy the benefits that come with being a part of the newest, most progressive and
integrative podiatric medical college. The 21st-century medical world requires cutting-edge
technology, interprofessional teamwork and access to patients in order to be trained
to your personal best level.
