New York, NY - October 16, 2009 - On Saturday, September 26, fifty NYCPM student volunteers, working in two shifts, donned their white coats at the American Diabetes Association's Diabetes Expo, held in New York's Javits Center, and performed nearly 300 foot screenings for Expo attendees. Many more people stopped by the Foot Center of New York/NYCPM booth to ask questions and to pick up informational literature.
Anthony Iorio, DPM, Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Community Health and Medicine at NYCPM, was instrumental in organizing the College’s presence at Diabetes Expo. Along with Dr. Iorio, also supervising the student volunteers were NYCPM faculty members Sharon Barlizo, DPM, Assistant Professor of Podiatric Medicine, and Director of the Wound Care Clinic at NYCPM’s affiliated Foot Center of New York; Johanna Godoy, DPM, Instructor of Surgical Sciences; and Steven Goldman, DPM, Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine.
