Dekalb Medical’s Podiatry Institute Holds Commencement 

The Podiatry Institute at DeKalb Medical recently held a commencement ceremony for the graduates of its residency program. Cathy Coker, DPM, Rahn Ravenell, DPM, and Sean Patrick Dunn, DPM completed an intensive three-year educational training experience in podiatric medicine and surgery at the post-graduate level. These ambitious doctors enhanced their training, knowledge, and life experience through anatomic study and participation in various seminars in the United States and Europe.

During training with the Institute, residents also learn teaching and lecturing skills. Upon graduating from the program, former residents join an international group of peers who have graduated from the program at DeKalb Medical, and then serve as a resource to the Institute’s newer residents. Members of the Institute lead highly acclaimed continuing medical education (CME) workshops, produce training videos, and author leading textbooks on foot and ankle surgery.
