The Growing Knowledge Series (GKS) creates a pathway for those who have completed their dissertation, but never published, to share their scholarship with the profession through a hosted webinar. This collaborative effort of our three Communities of Practice is positioned to benefit practitioners and scholars alike, creating a space to share new knowledge frequently left on the shelf. Join Dr. Jennifer D. Smith for a presentation that explores the lived experiences of recent Black graduates from a Midwest podiatric medical education program. Drawing from a qualitative study, this research reveals how these graduates navigated the environment and succeeded; highlighting key findings that underscore the crucial role of both personal resilience and support systems in their success.The study's findings, framed by Astin's (1991) I-E-O Model and Harper's (2010) Anti-Deficit Achievement Framework, offer valuable insights for improving recruitment, retention, and the overall experience of underrepresented students in podiatric medicine. This webinar is presented in partnership by ACPA's Communities of Practice.
