A group of students at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine joined forces with the Welcome Home Outreach Ministries organization in California to establish a podiatric medical mission trip to the San Quintin Valley region in Mexico. Third-year medical students and doctors of podiatric medicine, accompanied by an orthopedic surgeon, provided medical care to adults and children in need. The care focused on the lower extremities, providing care and help using both conservative and surgical management techniques. The mission trip took place April 14-19, 2009.
