The University of Texas at San Antonio

Due to our dedication to the population of patients with diabetes in South Texas, the Podiatry Division of the UT Health – San Antonio is widely recognized as a global leader in diabetic foot treatments, research, and education. Our care of the patient with diabetes is a multi-disciplinary approach. Acting in concert with members of other medical and surgical specialties, we strive to optimize patient care in a team environment. Faculty at UT San Antonio have specific expertise in the diagnosis, medical treatments, and surgical reconstruction of the Charcot foot. The Division’s research has resulted in multiple studies published in a variety of books and journals and presented at meetings around the world. The UT Diabetic Foot Ulcer Classification and the UT Diabetic Foot Risk Categories are widely used standards for risk assessment.

The Podiatry residency training program at UTHSCSA has been a fully integrated program within a state funded academic health science center for 50 years. We are a Division of the Department of Orthopaedics. We are a growing program with more than twenty clinical faculty. Primary locations for training are the University of Texas Health, University Health System, South Texas Veterans Health Care System, and private hospitals/surgery centers. Training involves an extensive combination of inpatient and outpatient services with excellent surgical training in limb salvage, reconstructive foot and ankle, trauma and elective cases. Our focus is to train well rounded podiatry medical physicians. Visit our Website https://lsom.uthscsa.edu/orthopaedics/podiatric-medicine/education/residency/
