Program Overview

Phoenixville Hospital, which is affiliated with Tower Health, is located in a beautiful part of Pennsylvania and within a 20-mile radius of all our PA Ortho Center office locations and other affiliated hospitals. A very well-balanced program with exposure to orthopedic offices, total ankle replacements, and research opportunities readily available. We have a strong focus on surgical training, especially rear foot reconstruction. Core attending faculty takes pride in teaching and friendly staff at the affiliated hospitals. We have a great relationship with orthopedics and there are no ortho residents, therefore podiatry residents benefit from all foot and ankle related cases. Academics are held weekly.
