Case Study: Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine achieves streamlined, paperless admissions with Liaison's AACPMAS

With Aacpmas at Barry University, Everyone’s an Owner and Admissions is Paperless

Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami Shores, Florida, faced cumbersome, owner‑restricted document workflows and a paper‑based admissions process when Dave Fletcher became Director of Admissions in 2017. The school was using Liaison’s American Association of Colleges of Podiatric Medicine Applicant Service (AACPMAS), a centralized application service, which Fletcher explored to address remote access limits, fragmented storage, and his goal of going paperless.

By implementing Liaison’s AACPMAS, Barry eliminated paper files, gave shared “owner” access to staff, customized local status designations for clearer applicant tracking, and automated communications. The result: Fletcher says his frustration dropped from a 7–8 to a 1–2, admissions staff can access records from any device while traveling, and time‑consuming tasks like processing mail, answering calls, and manually retrieving files have been significantly reduced, improving efficiency and reporting.
