The California School of Podiatric Medicine is proud to sponsor a three day podiatry workshop that provides participants with an opportunity to explore the profession of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery.
During the 3D Workshop you will:

How does one qualify for the workshop?
Successful applicants will have 40 or more credit hours completed by an accredited undergraduate institution and may not have been previously enrolled in a school of podiatric medicine. Your all-college GPA will be taken in consideration, since there is limited space, expect acceptance to be competitive.

Participation in the Podiatry 3D Workshop is limited to 20 participants.
Where does the Workshop take place?
The Podiatry 3D Workshop will be held on the main campus of Alta Bates-Summit Medical Center in Oakland, CA and at St. Mary Medical Center in San Francisco, CA.
Are there scholarships available for program particpants?
For out of state participants, we anticipate there will be travel scholarships available to help offset the cost of participation in the Podiatry 3D program; students who live locally will be eligible for a small monetary stipend. Recipients will be notified of scholarships at the time of acceptance.
Will there be other out of pocket expenses I can expect as part of the program?
Yes. All participants are responsible for overnight housing costs (hotel) and meals outside the program. Most days breakfast and lunch are included as part of the program. Travel to/from campus and parking will be your responsibility.
