For those of you who know Dr. Bowman, you know he is an avid Michigan Wolverines fan. He actually went to the University of Michigan where he graduated with honors to get a Bachelor of Science degree in 1979. So it raises the question, what is the connection with U of M and podiatry?
While the University of Michigan does not offer a program on podiatry, they do offer Bachelor of Science degrees for those looking to get into biology, which includes podiatry. The history of the University speaks for itself, showing that those who graduate from this University have a great chance to succeed in the fields of study they wish to pursue. Dr. Bowman knew this and this fueled his decision to go to the U of M and get his undergrad degree.
Through the University, Dr. Bowman got the foundation he needed so that he could start building his education in podiatry. Even though U of M didn't have a podiatry program, Dr. Bowman wouldn’t trade the education he got through UM for anything. It’s what allowed him to become a great podiatrist.
For people who are looking to get into the medical field, whether that be a foot doctor, a brain surgeon or a pharmacist, you should look into the University of Michigan. The professors, the wolverine culture and not to mention the connectedness of the alumni are all great at the University of Michigan. So if you’re looking for a University that can give you an excellent education, a great student culture and hundreds of connections to further for your graduate work, UM is the place to go.
