Introduction

The Podiatric Surgical Residency Program in Santa Clara is a three-year PMSR with added RRA Certificate position. Three residents are selected annually for the three-year position. Resident responsibilities include a very busy outpatient clinic, covering call for hospitalized patients/ Emergency Room, and podiatric and orthopedic surgical assisting. Residents are responsible for full preoperative and postoperative evaluations on surgical cases. Surgical training is extensive in adult and pediatric forefoot, rear foot, and ankle procedures. The Santa Clara medical center is a teaching hospital with in-house residents in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Ob/Gyn, and Podiatry. Students and residents from Stanford and Boston University rotate through the departments of General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Neurology, Otolaryngology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Anesthesia. The Division of Podiatric Surgery shares a common clinical facility with the departments of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. There is an excellent relationship between the podiatric surgeons and orthopedic surgeons that allows for a very pleasant collegial working and learning environment. The Kaiser Santa Clara Podiatric residents have the unique advantage of receiving all three years of their training at Santa Clara and San Leandro/Fremont locations. These sites are large, multidisciplinary, academically oriented teaching facilities making it ideal for receiving all three years of consistent training at high quality facilities. Residents participate in scheduled rotations through the departments of Anesthesiology, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, Infectious Disease, Radiology, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics, Pathology, Emergency Medicine, Dermatology and Rheumatology. Didactic activities include a monthly journal club, Complex patient clinic, radiology rounds, Joint Podiatry and Vascular surgery rounds, Orthopedic rounds, and Podiatric case rounds. Protected teaching time every Monday afternoon is reserved for academic lectures and hands on workshops.
