    I’m currently a pre-podiatry student and I’ve been listening to this podcast for several months now. I love the variety this show brings with all of the students from the different universities. It’s great to hear the current podiatric students talk about their experiences and it gets me excited for the future!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DCLS: It Looks Like Fungus…But Is It? A Deeper Look at Podiatric Dermatology, Nail Differential Diagnosis & Biopsy
Q: When would you choose to biopsy or order advanced testing versus relying on clinical appearance?
If there is suspicion of malignancy or if the clinical picture is unclear, use punch biopsy to obtain matrix-level tissue; use diagnostic tests to narrow differential and tailor treatment rather than relying on visual diagnosis alone.
DCLS: It Looks Like Fungus…But Is It? A Deeper Look at Podiatric Dermatology, Nail Differential Diagnosis & Biopsy
Q: What are your thoughts on how diagnostic testing should be integrated into routine nail pathology exams?
Start with histopathology (PAS as the gold standard) to confirm fungal presence, add GMS if needed for older or decayed organisms, consider Fontana-Munda staining for pigmented saprophytes, and reserve PCR for cases where species-level identification would change management.
Ep. 359 - From AZCPM to Fellowship: Dr. Shadi Mattar’s Journey
Q: What are your thoughts on the future of your field and leadership roles after fellowship?
I aim to combine clinical excellence with education and leadership, potentially within an academic setting, while staying at the forefront of new technologies and continuing to mentor students, residents, and fellows.
Ep. 359 - From AZCPM to Fellowship: Dr. Shadi Mattar’s Journey
Q: What guidance do you have for students choosing clerkships and applying for fellowships?
Apply broadly to programs that offer a full spectrum of podiatry experiences, consult current and past fellows, keep deadlines organized, and trust your training and drive; location and culture can be as important as case volume.
Ep. 359 - From AZCPM to Fellowship: Dr. Shadi Mattar’s Journey
Q: What aspects of residency and fellowship were most influential in shaping your career?
The emphasis on high-volume clinical and surgical training, mentorship, and exposure to different healthcare systems helped me build a robust foundation and learn to think across specialties, which prepared me for advanced reconstructive work.
