Program Overview

The program started in 2010 and is fully approved by CPME as PMSR w added credential in RRA. There is an emphasis on reconstructive forefoot, rearfoot, ankle and lower leg surgery of all types as described above. We are very active with Emergency Room call (including Pediatric ER) where podiatric attendings cover all pathology below the tibial tuberosity. Residents cover this call at all times. There is ample time for surgery as well as pre/post op clinical management, practice management and ancillary rotations. Strong emphasis on podiatric office rotations, practice management and wound care/limb salvage clinics as well.
