note that the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree
must be completed in a maximum of six enrolled years as
noted in the " CPME 120 Standard and Requirements for
Accrediting Colleges of Podiatric Medicine. " Understand
the implications of taking a leave, such as potential course
retakes and changes to graduation timelines. Initiate a clear
and open discussion with the program administration to set
expectations for your leave and return.
Consider seeking support from Disability Resources and
Services (DRS) for academic accommodations, assistive
technology, and other resources that can provide you with
support you need academically. Additionally, seek out
counseling services through your school or external resources
for either individual counseling or support groups to aid in
processing your grief. Many programs have free resources to
help you.
For those grappling with grief, remember it can come in
unexpected waves. Be kind and patient with yourself; facing
loss is a challenging and traumatic experience. I hope that
you are not grieving alone. Find peace in the fact that little by
little we let go of the loss but our love for them remains.
