Program Overview

Our program stresses a holistic approach to patient care, and places a special emphasis on surgery, scholarly activity and research. Our teaching faculty are nationally recognized and receive private and federal research grant support. Residents train in a multitude of settings, including the nation’s third largest nonprofit integrated health system (Advocate Health), Chicago’s iconic public hospital (Stroger), and at a large urban-based university-affiliated teaching hospital (UIC). Trainees also gain invaluable private practice experience in one of the nation’s largest and most successful podiatry supergroups (Weil Foot & Ankle/Balance Health). Residents gain extensive training in ankle & foot surgery, reconstructive surgery & deformity correction, trauma, arthroscopy & sports medicine, and provide on call services at three level 1 trauma centers in Chicago.
