Program Overview
The program is a PMSR/RRA with currently 5 residents/year.
PGY-1: The first year is spent primarily on podiatry clinic and hospital based rotations with a large volume of podiatry inpatient surgery. First year residents will get experience with some elective podiatry cases as well. The rest of training for the PGY-1 year is spent on off service rotations, such as Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Behavioral Health/Psychiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehab, Infectious Disease, Rheumatology, Vascular Medicine and Endovascular Limb Salvage, General Surgery, and Anesthesia. The emphasis of a PGY-1 is to complete your non-podiatry rotations in order to get a sound base in your medicine training as you matriculate to your second year of training. Podiatric rotations during your PGY-1 afford you an opportunity to get a significant amount of surgical exposure and developing good surgical skills
PGY-2/3: The second and third year of training is focused around more elective surgery and trauma. Non-podiatry rotations are spent with Plastic Surgery and Ortho/Trauma at our main campus. Podiatric rotations will include elective forefoot, rearfoot, and ankle procedures. Non-elective procedures will also include forefoot, rearfoot, and ankle procedures. Each resident is given an opportunity to rotate with all our core podiatrists to ensure equal training across the program. An emphasis on quality and diversity of training is visible. Our podiatric staff have come from many different training backgrounds to provide a varied approaches to patient care. Clinic duties are also prevalent in 2nd and 3rd year in order to allow the residents to evaluate patients pre, peri, and post operatively. Many rotations are 3 months long to offer appropriate continuity of care with patients and faculty.
