MA Graduate Prepares for Podiatry School

Emily Sanphy of Saugus has her future nicely mapped out. The recent Salem State University graduate will move to New York City at the end of this summer to start podiatry school. “My biggest tip for people who want to go to graduate school is to do a lot of research,” Sanphy said. Many schools have requirements students must meet before enrolling, she said. Plus, you want to make sure you like the field of study, which for Sanphy, meant shadowing a podiatrist.

And even though graduate school is a couple of months way, Sanphy continues to prepare. “Neuroscience, which is a class I have to take in the fall, is hard for me,” she said. “So I’m going to read up on neuroscience topics over the summer.” She said though that might sound “nerdy,” it’s important to “swallow your pride and study.” “I won’t stress as much once school starts,” she added.
