The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

We offer both 3 month Core Clerkships as well as the more common 1 month Clerkship. Either late 3rd year or 4th year students spend a week in University Hospital as a fully functioning member of our hospital team. Duties/experiences include daily patient rounds, elective and non- elective surgery, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, Limb salvage procedures, use of advanced wound healing modalities, etc. One week each spent in our 2 outpatient clinics for a broad variety of podiatric medical experiences, including wound care and postoperative care. For those with VA credentials, one week can be spent at our affiliated VA Hospital and clinic. Students participate in weekly grand rounds, journal club, and all conferences. For students interested in our Residency Program, a Clerkship is highly recommended (although not required).

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/
