2011 Women’s Scholarship Winners

Congratulations to our 2011 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 four 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.
