MIAMI SHORES � Barry University�s School of Podiatric Medicine celebrated 25 years of successes in Orlando recently at an anniversary celebration titled, �The Barefoot Ball.� The fundraiser, aimed at providing students of podiatric medicine with scholarships to help offset the cost of their education, raised more than $22,000.
Established in 1985 as the first podiatric medical school in the southern United States, the Barry School of Podiatric Medicine has grown considerably from the modest 18-student class in its first year. The school has now graduated more than 1,100 doctors of podiatric medicine, trained more than 125 podiatric primary care residents, and provided more than $20 million in charitable care to the medically underserved. The school has more than 250 hospital based clerkships and boasts a 36-month podiatric medical and surgical residency training program.
