Open Your Practice to the Next Generation of Podiatric Physicians
Mentoring and Speaking engagements are great avenues in aiding students to realize their potential in becoming a podiatric physician. Just ask Isaac Kline, mentored by Gerald Gronborg, DPM, who says that his experience with Dr. Gronborg "sealed the deal" for him to start podiatry school this fall. "I think someone has to be exposed to something before they can decide whether or not to pursue it for the rest of their life," Kline explains.
