Introduction

UCLA Podiatry residents rotate through multiple hospitals including DVA GLA, Olive View-UCLA Medical Center (OVMC), Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica UCLA, and Kaiser (Woodland Hills and WLA). Residents spend the majority of their time at DVA West Los Angeles, OVMC, and UCLA main campus. Additional surgical and clinical experience is provided at Kaiser Woodland Hills and Kaiser WLA. Non-Podiatric rotations are primarily completed at the DVA West Los Angeles. Our program has a substantial focus on trauma patients. The faculty members are nationally recognized and involved with many national surgical committees. Our program’s research section is robust and well-funded.
