NYCPM first opened its doors in 1911 as the New York School of Chiropody, making us the nation’s first school of podiatric medicine. Over the years, we’ve evolved our curriculum and clinical experiences to adapt to the advancements in medicine and podiatry.
Our students produce some of the best outcomes in podiatric education, from consistently high licensing exam passage and placement rates in choice residency programs to advancing the field of podiatric medicine through their research. We’ve been doing this for over a century and counting— and we always stay a step ahead.
