Adventist Health White Memorial
Introduction
Adventist Health White Memorial’s Podiatry Residency provides residents with a comprehensive experience in podiatric medicine. We offer extensive hands-on learning opportunities, including in podiatric and orthopedic surgery and even through an elective Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rotation. When residents come to our program, they can expect to graduate with the necessary skills to lead their own clinical practice. Located in the East Los Angeles community of Boyle Heights, our residency programs provide care for a federally designated medically underserved community. Residents and faculty alike bond through the mission to provide health and hope to the community in a spirit of compassion and cultural humility.
