Practice Management Wins Club of the Year!
At Temple University, the AAPPM Practice Management Club has beat out the fourteen other clubs at school to be elected by the student body as the Club of the Year! They will be receiving an award at the Spring Ligament formal dance, held annually in March. "It is an absolute honor for us to receive this award" said Jordan Meyers, President of the Practice Management Club. "This would not be possible without the wonderful speakers that the AAPPM helps to arrange, or the educational grant given by Dr. Les Appel of Powerstep, so they are the first to thank! Traditionally the surgery club will win, as they receive a great deal of funding for external fixation workshops, suture workshops, bone saw labs, and the list goes on. We are ecstatic that the student body has felt that our multitude of quality speakers, who are undoubtedly the best in their individual fields ranging from podiatry, to marketing and advertising, law, as well as finances, were more valuable than some of the other hands on experiences they have received through club exposure. It is a true testament that students are focusing on the big picture, and how each individual piece of the puzzle fits together."
