NYCPM Participates in SUNY Optometry Health Expo
On Saturday August 3, 27 NYCPM students provided foot screenings and distributed information at the SUNY College of Optometry University Eye Center Health and Wellness Expo 2019. The fair was busy - 130 people attended, and each could choose to receive different health screenings, visit a large number of exhibitors, and/or participate in a variety of activities. Anthony R. Iorio, DPM ('81), MPH, supervised the students, while Monique Young, administrative assistant of the FCNY, distributed and disseminated lots of information to the attendees: handed out FCNY literature, invited attendees to a foot screening (which she hoped would give attendees a preview of the skill of our students), and explained insurances accepted.
