2010 Women’s Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to our 2010 AAWP women’s scholarship winners! With so many talented students of podiatric medicine submitting applications this year, the field was truly tough to decide upon for the board of the American Association for Women Podiatrists. But these five women’s scholarship winners have clearly demonstrated why they are winners. These soon-to-be podiatric physicians will surely leave their mark on foot health as the talented podiatrist each of them will no doubt become.

2010 AAWP Founder’s Scholarship Recipients:

Joudy-Ann Dinnall- Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine
As secretary of the TUSPM chapter of AAWP, Joudy-Ann organized mentoring opportunities for members by inviting female podiatrists to become more involved with Temple students. She reached out to board members of the national group and explained the need for involvement in order to complete a clerkship requirement during the 4th year of school. Her idea is what will soon become an actual system to place students with willing AAWP national member podiatrists.

She worked with OPMSA to plan a clinical symposium, at which an AAWP raffle raised money for a local battered women’s shelter. She also coordinated a presence at the “Race for the Cure” with some members volunteering at registration and others running the race. The group placed in the top ten of schools for amount of donations collected.
