Â鶹´«Ã½ College of Podiatric Medicine (CPM) has only existed in its current form for eight years. Formerly known as the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, it was acquired by Â鶹´«Ã½ in 2012, which has afforded students and employees an array of new opportunities and resources.
While our alumni may still be warming up to the idea of being a Golden Flash, or may not recognize the CPM campus in Independence, many of them have formed lasting connections to the nineteen unique individuals that have worked for the college for two, three and even four decades.
Please join CPM in recognizing the nineteen faculty and staff members who have been with the College for twenty years or more – through the move to Independence, the merge with Â鶹´«Ã½, and the graduation of thousands of doctors of podiatric medicine.
