MercyOne Waterloo Medical Center

Introduction

The MercyOne Waterloo Medical Center Podiatry Residency is a three-year, post-graduate program. Founded in 1983, the program has evolved to a multi-disciplinary training with strengths in podiatric surgery, wound healing, orthopedics and office rotations. Hands-on training with various specialties has provided invaluable experience for our residents. Residents have the opportunity to attend various educational courses including an external fixation course and operative arthroscopy course. Reimbursement for the programs, as well as continuing education funding, is provided to each resident. Office rotations for pre-operative and post-operative patients are encouraged by the faculty. A flexible schedule allows the residents to follow patients through the entire course of care. Although the program is educationally intense, social outings and family relationships are supported and encouraged by all faculty members. There are numerous social activities throughout the year.
