"Unmatched Experience"

Northwell Health’s Director of Podiatry Explains What Drew Her to New York College of Podiatric Medicine

As a promising undergraduate at Fordham University, Jackie Prevete’s decision to attend the New York College of Podiatric Medicine (NYCPM) felt straightforward. “The experience is unmatched,” she said. “They’re in that area of the city where the pathology gives students really great exposure to everything that podiatry has to offer. The clinic is busy, even at the student level. You get used to evaluating and seeing patients, and that’s what you’re going to need to be good at for the rest of your life. NYCPM affords that from the get-go. New York City is unmatched.” She added with a laugh: “But I’m from here, so I’m biased.” Her choice proved prescient. She graduated in 2013 and completed a four-year surgical residency at NewYork-Presbyterian in 2017, leaving training with a strong clinical foundation and a clearer sense of direction.
