NORTH CHICAGO, ILL – Stephanie C. Wu, DPM, MSc, Assistant Professor of Surgery at William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science was named to the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association (JAPMA).

The journal, founded in 1907, is the oldest and most frequently-cited peer-reviewed journal in the profession of foot and ankle medicine. 

"I am tremendously honored by this appointment,” said Wu, who is also Director of Education  at Scholl's Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR). "The ability to work closely with the top lower extremity research journal is a distinctive professional  privilege."

Dr. Warren S. Joseph, JAPMA's Editor-in-Chief, noted "Dr. Wu represents a new generation of highly-trained, academic podiatric physicians. She has already made great contributions to the Journal as both an author and an exemplary reviewer. Her election to the Board was by unanimous decision at our recent editorial advisory meeting."  

Dr. Wu, in addition to her clinical and research responsibilities, manages visits to CLEAR by visiting professors, fellows and other clinicians each year from dozens of nations.
