In this episode of Dean’s Chat, Drs. Jensen and Richey sit down with Luke Seuffer, a fourth-year student at the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine (AZCPM), who is currently in the heart of his clinical clerkship year. Luke shares a candid, boots-on-the-ground perspective of what life looks like during fourth year—rotating through diverse clinical settings, managing increasing responsibility, and preparing for residency while still learning every day. From adapting to new hospitals and attendings to refining clinical decision-making and patient communication, Luke offers an honest look at the growth that happens during this pivotal year. We discuss: • 🩺 What surprised him most about clerkships • 📚 How AZCPM prepared him for real-world clinical expectations • 🧠 Lessons learned from different attendings, residents, and healthcare teams • ⚖️ Balancing long clinical days with residency preparation • 🔮 Advice for third-year students heading into clerkships Luke’s reflections highlight the transition from student to clinician, the importance of adaptability, and the value of strong mentorship. His experience underscores how fourth year isn’t just about proving what you know—it’s about learning how to think, act, and grow as a future podiatric physician. Whether you’re a pre-medical student, a current podiatric student, or simply interested in how physicians are trained, this episode offers an authentic and informative look at the clerkship experience through the eyes of someone living it right now.

Ep. 275 - Edward Glaser, DPM - Foot Biomechanist • Inventor of MASS Posture Theory
Dean's Chat hosts, Drs. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Glazer to the podcast! This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics! Edward Glaser, DPM Podiatrist • Foot Biomechanist • Inventor of MASS Posture Theory • Founder & CEO, Sole Supports, Inc. Dr. Ed Glaser holds a doctorate from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and began his journey with a foundation in mechanical engineering from SUNY Stony Brook.  He spent 13 years in private practice before dedicating his energies to developing a new paradigm in foot biomechanics. Ed is the creator of MASS Posture Theory, which views foot biomechanics through an engineering lens, using an all-axis model based on an individual's ideal gait.  He is also the inventor of Relax, Release, Relief (RRR) — a method of interrupting neurological feedback loops that contribute to chronic pain. As founder and CEO of Sole Supports, Inc., Dr. Glaser has built a reputation for reimagining orthotic design, focusing on calibrated full-arch support to prevent postural collapse and optimize function. Over decades, he has lectured at medical conferences worldwide, published his work (including in the Foot & Ankle Online Journal), and taught his methodology in podiatry and chiropractic programs. 🔹 Mission: "We Make People Better"
