HealthPartners Institute/Regions Hospital

Introduction

The HealthPartners Institute Foot and Ankle Surgery Residency is approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) and sponsors a Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR/RRA). The program is a three-year commitment, accepting three residents per year, and provides the resident with hands-on experience in all aspects of foot and ankle medicine and surgery. Surgical cases at this program are broad-based, ranging from reconstructive forefoot, rearfoot, and ankle surgery, to foot and ankle trauma, to emergent and elective diabetic limb salvage. Clinical experience is vast, with active participation in pre-op and post-op care, inpatient care, office procedures, wound care, and coding. Under the supervision of the attendings, residents are responsible for inpatient management of hospital patients as well as daily interaction with members of other medical services. While residents are on call, they are responsible for ER consults, inpatient rounds and consults, fielding and urgent care patient calls. This well-rounded curriculum will allow graduating residents to practice all aspects of foot and ankle surgery in a professional and confident manner.
