Who We Are

Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science (RFU) is a six-college graduate health sciences university dedicated to the interprofessional education of health and biomedical professionals.

Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine – Scholl is the name to know in podiatric medicine. Founded in 1912 by a pioneer in podiatry, Scholl College is an international resource in the field. In fact, one out of three podiatrists in the U.S. is a Scholl College alumnus. As part of Rosalind Franklin University (RFU), we provide a fully accredited, four-year professional program leading to the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree, along with opportunities for a combined DPM/PhD degree.

Scholl prepares tomorrow’s top physicians and leaders in the field of podiatry. Scholl College is recognized for its exceptional clinical education, in part because of the RFU Health Clinics adjacent to the RFU campus. We have access to clinical experiences in a variety of healthcare settings throughout the Chicago metro area, where our students participate in multiple rotations, at the John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County and other leading metro area Chicago teaching hospitals. Furthermore, our campus offers a 100,000-square-foot Innovation and Research Park to encourage advancements in podiatric medicine and other healthcare specializations – and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Scholl College made diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) a component of our 2020-2023 Strategic Plan, and we also created a task force on enhancing DEI in healthcare by making recommendations for curricular enhancements that address disparities in treatment. And we strive to maintain a safe, inclusive environment for students, faculty and staff of all backgrounds.
