Eastern Star Nursing home is a non-
profit organization run by the local Ma-
sonic Chapter of Cuyahoga County. A
total of seventy patients reside within the
facility, with one floor staffed to provide
twenty-four nursing care. AGK provides
the pod iatric care which is so important
to com plete total health care for the ge-
riatric pat ient. The podiatric care of-
fered to the elderly at Eastern Star en-
compasses a broad spectrum. The treat-
ment of various types of skin ulcerations,
localized skin infections, biomechanical
abnormal it ies, and permanent correction
of onychocryptosis via surgical resolution
comprise a large percentage of the treat-
ment ren dered. Members soon learn that
total foot care of the geriatric patient is
not restricted to palliative techniques.

The brothers of AGK are thankful for
the opportunity to learn while providing
such a val uable health service within this
institution. We also enjoy bringing a bit
of happiness to the feet and hearts of the
patients of Eastern Star.

The Christian City Mission is a non-profit organiza-
tion located in downtown Cleveland, which serves the
transient and homeless of Cleveland. With the advent
of AGK's foot clinic at the City Mission, podiatric as
wel I as general medical care has been provided for
these people. There are three treat-ment rooms for
podiatry, one medical treatment room, a well-stocked
pharmacy and a recently constructed x-ray room.

Under supervision of resident and clinicians of
O.C.P.M., students render care that runs the gamut of
podiatric medicine. Treatment of alcoholic neuro-
pathies, chonic ulcers, venereal diseases, frostb ite, per-
ipheral vascular disorders are frequently performed, as
are the more routine podiatric problems. The avail -
ability of a Medical Doctor provides the patient good
all-around care, and gives the students a readily avail-
able source of consultation - as well as medical
education.

Podiatric surgery is being performed with increasing
frequency. Patients are then housed within the mission
post-operatively.

In general, good medical care for patients and a
rewarding educational experience for students is ob-
tained at AG K's City Mission Foot Clinic.

Occopodian

With a great deal of patience, determination, some
imagination, and weeks of hard work, the 1975 edition
of the Occopodian has been completed.

This year's book has attained the degree of profes-
sional excellence that is expected of all medical school
publications. We have tried to capture the true spirit
and school life that O.C.P.M. offers. Our objective was
not to pay tribute to just the seniors, but to cover the
year's. history of the entire student body, faculty and

staff.

The 1975 Occopodian offers some drastic changes
over the previous year's books. For the first time, we
contracted a professional photographer to take the
candid pictures. Color has been included in various
areas throughout the book.

We hope that our efforts have brought you a year-
book that will be appreciated not only now, but also
in the years to come.

The Inter-Fraternity Council composed of AGK, KTE,
Phi Alpha Pi and Pi Delta has now become a strong
and true expression of not only the "Greek" student,
but this year under a new resolution O.P.S.A. was
voted upon, and received a seat on the council, so
that all students have some realistic representation.

The Inter-Fraternity Council must and will remain a
viable channel through which unity, progress and fra-
ternalism may develop to meet the escalating needs of
the individual student and to keep pace with the
progressive achievements of the Ohio College of Po-
diatric Medicine.

Wong-Sing, Lee Gossens.

Currently, there are twenty-five Canadians studying Podiatric Medicine
in the United States of America. Eleven of these Canadian students are
attending the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine. We, as Canadians
were totallv unaware of each other until Joe-Wong-Sing, the incipient
founder of the Canadian Association of Podiatry Students (CAPS), unified
us through the initiation of CAPS, in February 1974. CAPS is governed by
a nationally elected Executive Committee. Also, each branch or college
of podiatric medicine is governed by a locally elected committee. The
above photograph shows the members of the CAPS-OCPM Branch.

The CAPS-OCPM Branch is dedicated mainly to providing information,
counselling and assistance to its local members; to the other members of
CAPS; to Canadian admission applicants to OCPM; to an perspective
Canadian students planning to study Podiatric Medicine at OCPM or any
of the other colleges, and to our fellow American students who upon
graduation express a desire to practice Podiatric Medicine in Canada.

As an incipient organization we still have many problems to overcome,
but I'm certain that February 1974 will be recorded in the annals of the
Podiatric Profession in Canada as a date to be remembered. Dear
Canada, podiatry is on the move!
