Program Overview

The St Elizabeth’s Podiatric Medicine and Surgical Residency Program is a 3 year program (PMR/RRA). The residency is approved for a total of 6 residents, two in each year of training. The residency is designed with a rotational structure with an emphasis on resource based, competency driven, assessment validated training. The resident is provided with a greater responsibility in patient care and decision making as they progress throughout their training. These experiences coincide with didactic activities such as journal club, skills workshops, case review, and lectures. Research opportunities are readily available and are a requirement for graduation.

Due to a combination of community based and referral patients, the medical and surgical volume and diversity is exceptional. The residents are integrated into outpatient clinics which allow for involvement throughout
