Lawrence B. Harkless, DPM, FACFAS,
MAPWCA, Founding Dean of the
College of Podiatric Medicine, retired
from Western University of Health
Sciences on June 30, 2017.
CPM held a retirement reception for
Dr. Harkless on Tuesday, June 6.
Over the course of his career, he has
trained more than 1,000 students
and nearly 200 residents. He is the
recipient of multiple state and
national awards for podiatric
research and care, and co-authored
the book “Foot and Ankle Secrets,”
which is a staple among podiatric
residents and students.
Dr. Harkless was one of a trio of
founding deans who laid the
groundwork a decade ago for three
WesternU colleges -- podiatric
medicine, dental medicine, and
optometry -- that were part of a
multimillion-dollar expansion of the
University’s programs and facilities.
Those colleges welcomed their first
classes of students in 2009-10.
