Ascension St. Vincent Hospital Indianapolis

We are a strong program with twelve residents training here for three years. Our residents work closely with a core group of attending podiatrists and there is ample opportunity for research opportunities with these attending podiatrists. Our program is very friendly and our residents work very well together and with the other services. The program has a vast array of services at our disposal. We work closely with all of the medical and surgical specialties. This is particularly true of infectious disease, vascular surgery, and internal medicine. There is a high inpatient volume that affords a wealth of learning opportunities for the critically ill patient. On the outpatient side, the resident will be exposed to a number of different podiatrists in their offices, surgery centers, and other local hospitals. This allows a great breadth of experience and will allow the resident to ultimately form their own opinions as to how they will eventually wish to practice.

The Ascension St. Vincent Indianapolis Podiatric Surgical Residency program is a well-rounded surgical program providing an outstanding post-graduate podiatric medical school educational experience. The hospital has a high volume of inpatient care, including substantial diabetic limb salvage. The outpatient surgical experience provides exposure to all types of foot, reconstructive foot, and ankle surgeries. Additionally, the opportunities for trauma, total replacement/arthroplasty, and pediatrics are substantial. The residency program consists of four residents per year with PMSR/RRA certification. The monthly academic calendar includes Radiology Rounds, Morbidity and Mortality, Journal Club, Board Review, Cadaver Lab, ACFAS Scientific Literature Reviews, and Quarterly Grand Rounds. We work hard to create a safe learning environment for our residents and students.
