The College's student-led webinar series focuses on an overview of the process of podiatric research to provide a starting point for students and new researchers to better understand podiatric scientific pursuits.
The series, hosted once per month, consists of three 20-minute segments on various topics of the research process. Each segment is led by an ACFAS Student Club President, a member from the ACFAS Regions and a member of the ACFAS Research Committee.
