Program Overview

The Podiatric Surgical Residency Program plays a significant role in the overall medical and surgical care within the medical center. It operates two major podiatric surgery clinics and participates in the ER coverage. Time is also spent with orthopedics, wound care and general surgery. Additionally, we are integrated with vascular, endocrine and internal medicine. Bridgeport/YNHH has welcomed a new 106 Bed Hospital Campus in Milford Connecticut bringing the total bed number to 531. Residents now cover surgeries at the Greenwich Hospital campus and its affiliated surgery centers.
