Some nights, after the clinic was closed, he said some members of the team went into the giant tent city to play soccer and jump rope with some of the children. “We were so amazed at how many smiles we saw,” he said. “Every person in this area was affected by the earthquake in some way, yet they were so full of life and joy. Music filled the streets in the evenings, and the people were so grateful for our service.” He said he plans to go back later this year, because there is still a huge amount of work to be done there. “The people here have a long difficult road ahead of them, and I am humbled to have been a small part of the massive relief effort taking place all over Haiti,” he said.

Greetings,
AS 2010 advances, we here at TUSPM are continuing toexceed last years’ successes. The increasing support from our alumni and friends continue to aid TUSPM in
serving Philadelphia’s podiatric needs from the education of ourstudents to diligently tending to our patients.
For the last 3 years, we have had the most applicants apply toTUSPM than any of the other schools of podiatric medicine. Weare delighted to announce our “match” rate by our students thisyear is close to 100 percent. Only a few students are in thescramble for residencies and we feel they will be successful inthe endeavor. Enrollment and the quality of our students areoutstanding; we have the largest and academically best class inover 15 years.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that we now have twoDPM/PhDs working in our research department. Dr. JinsupSong has been awarded an NIH grant in the field of diabeticresearch. We would also like to welcome Dr. James Furmato,who joined our faculty in 2010, and look forward to his futuresuccess.
We have created two clinical skill centers: one in surgery andthe other in podiatric medicine. Dr. Howard Palamarchuk hasbeen influential in the Pod-Med skills centers development.Both these labs will continue to elevate our students’ clinicalprowess and have been well received by our students.
Our vision of creating a total diabetic limb preservation centerat the Foot & Ankle Institute is now closer to being a realitythan ever. The architects are designing our facility to be able toachieve our goals. We believe this will be the first podiatric runfacility under one roof. It will offer:
� Diabetic wound care
� Offloading
� Lymphedema clinic
� Vascular testing
� Pedorthics
� Multiphase hyperbaric oxygen chamber
� Circulator boot stations
� Gait analysis with sophisticated pressure testing, neurologicaltesting and evaluation
� Reconstructive foot and ankle surgery with specialization inCharcot foot reconstruction
� Full physical therapy services with adjunctive therapies intreating chronic wounds
� MRI and ultra sonographicand digital x-ray evaluations
� Diabetic manifestations ofskin diseases
� Diabetic patient educationand nutrition
� Consultative services withTemple University vascularsurgeons
� Plastic reconstructivesurgeons and diabeticspecialists.
As you can see, we expanded our podiatric medical servicesand project our services will be the largest and most completediabetic/vascular treatment center available anywhere. Ourgoal is to make the Leonard S. Abrams Center for advancedwound healing not only the most comprehensive and state ofthe art facility but the place to visit before one ever agrees to anamputation.
As always, thank you to our loyal supporters of TUSPM throughcash, personal investments, and in-kind donations. Yourkindness during this time of economic hardship is priceless anddirectly attributed to the success of our students and our overallquest for the highest caliber of podiatrists.

TEMPLE podiatry students, staff and faculty were joined byMayor Michael Nutter on Saturday, November 14, 2009,to shine a spotlight on the diabetes epidemic in
Philadelphia, which has one of the highest rates of diabetes inthe country – roughly 3 percent higher than the nationalaverage.
“This epidemic is not just a health matter,” said Dr. Kathya Zinszer,chair of podiatric medicine and orthopedics, and organizer ofthe event. “It affects our everyday lives by extending into ourfamilies, the community, employers and our children, thereforeaffecting all sections of our Philadelphia community.”
Throughout the day, members of the community were offeredfree flu vaccines, various health screenings, consultations withmedical professionals and several educational workshops ontopics such as diabetes and heart disease, exercise andnutrition.
World Diabetes Day is an international campaign started in1991 and led by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) andthe World Health Organization (WHO) in response to thealarming rise in diabetes around the world.

THE most important question on the minds of Podiatric Medical Students today is:“Will there be a residency for me when I graduate?” As student enrollment israpidly increasing, this question has become a valid concern for many
academically qualified, and residency eligible students. Beginning with the graduatingClass of 2010, a shortage of Residency positions, for qualified students exists. As ofFebruary 3rd, 2010, there are 503 qualified applicants for residency placement on July1, 2010. The Council of Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) has approved 507positions, but not all of those positions will be filled, as funding issues and politicalissues have been encountered. Therefore, of those 507 positions, only 472 areavailable for graduate placement through the Centralized Application Service forPodiatric Medicine (CASPR) leaving a shortage of 31 positions for this years graduatingclass!
The Council of Teaching Hospitals (COTH) and APMA have been working vigorously toensure that every qualified student receives a residency position after graduation froman accredited School of Podiatric Medicine. However, COTH and APMA cannot do italone. Many Podiatric Physicians, within the last year have taken initiative andcreated residency programs at their respective hospitals, increasing the number ofResidency positions available for qualified students and future colleagues. In addition,existing programs have been pre-approved for an increase in the number of Residentstaken per year, several of which have acted on their pre-approval. Due to thesecombined efforts, the projected shortage has been significantly decreased, and may bedecreasing this very minute, but it has not been eliminated! Looking towards thefuture, the Class of 2011 will have more qualified students for Residency positions thanthe Class of 2010 and any student who does not match with a program this year canre-enter “match” next year increasing the shortage. As can be easily demonstrated,the snowball effect has begun and it will take your help, and the help of Alumni acrossthe country to bring it to a stop!
The Council of Teaching Hospitals, students and future colleagues are seekingPodiatrists who are willing to create new Residency positions or programs, helping toclose this gap. There is an APMA Residency Helpline Number (1-800-372-0775) forthose who are interested in doing their part! A Podiatrist can obtain the informationthey need to create new programs and increase numbers at current programs in orderto help solve the looming Residency shortage. Students from all schools of PodiatricMedicine are eternally grateful for the efforts made thus far and for the efforts of thoseindividuals who will be proactive in solving this problem.

TEMPLE University School of PodiatricMedicine’s class of 2012 was given their clinicalwhite coats on April 9, 2010 during TUSPM’s
Rite of Passage ceremony. The ceremony’s venue wasnew this year, occurring at Temple University’s maincampus Mitten Hall.
This annual event honors the second-year podiatrystudents who enter into their clinical work withTemple University’s School of Podiatry Medicine. Thetitle of the event has been called the “PinningCeremony” in the past, however this year TUSPM has also referred to the event as the “White CoatCeremony”. The students were “coated” by our facultyinstead of being “pinned” as well.
Dean John Mattiacci welcomed the students, faculty,alumni and friends to the ceremony, which was thelargest class in recent history. The guest speakers included Mark Pinker, DPM, and LisaStaiano-Coico, Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs from TempleUniversity.

� HIGHLIGHT
“What are your hopes for TUSPM in the future?”
IN 10 years, I would like to see TUSPMat the forefront of Podiatry in thePhiladelphia and Tri-state areas. Plans
are currently in the works to include aHyperbaric Oxygen chamber on site,while expanding our Wound Care Centerand providing multi-faceted care to ourpatients. This would include the abilityfor patients to receive non-invasivevascular studies on-site as well asultrasound modalities and various otherfacets of Podiatry that we currently donot offer. It would make TUSPM a "one-stop" shop for any patient need prior tosurgical invention, for which otherspecialties would than collaborate. Thesteps are currently in place and progresshas been made thus far, with the hopethat in 10 years, all expansive goals willhave been seen to fruition!

Dr. John A. Marty, Ms, DPM, FACFAS
JOHN A. Marty grew up in a suburb ofPittsburgh, in McCandless Township,
PA. He attended Bethany College andmajored in Biology. When he graduatedfrom Bethany College in 1976, he enrolledat Duquesne University to major inmicrobiology.
During his time at Duquesne, he woremany hats working a gamut of jobs –
ambulance driver, professor’s assistant,phlebotomist, construction crew, andconstruction supervisor. At this point, Dr.Marty was uncertain about his future. Itwasn’t until his neighbor suggested heconsider podiatry as a profession that Dr.Marty was able to pinpoint his careerpath. She had been on her way to anappointment with her podiatrist, Dr.Cercone, and once Dr. Marty spoke tohim, his future soon became very clear.
Dr. Marty received his Doctor of PodiatricMedicine degree from the TempleUniversity School of Podiatric Medicine(formerly the Pennsylvania College ofPodiatric Medicine) in 1983. Heperformed his surgical residency atPittsburgh Podiatry Hospital and openedhis private practice in Kittanning. At thattime, Dr. Marty also married hissweetheart Marion.
He has been in awe of podiatry ever sinceand strongly believes that “Podiatry is avery important part in the medical/surgical care of the public.” He advocatescommunity outreach and encourages all
