Dr. Levy said that although podiatric medicine was often overlooked in discussions of bioterrorism and preparedness, its wide diagnostic scope made it one of the most relevant disciplines in terms of responding quickly and thoroughly to a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The seminar is the first in a series of three-credit mini-seminars scheduled throughout the fall on Barry’s Miami Shores campus.
