Introduction

The Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency - Reconstructive Rearfoot / Ankle at DVA-Dayton in Dayton OH is a comprehensive three-year program accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME). This program offers three residency positions annually. Residents engage in diverse clinical and surgical training, rotating at different hospitals in the Dayton area. Most of the required rotations will be completed as a first year resident while also enhancing their diagnostic skills. First year residents will also be in the operating room. During the second and third years there will be a heavier focus on developing surgical skills while also taking a leadership position within the clinic. This program thrives in a multi-disciplinary environment to ensure the best care for our patients. The program provides excellent training in wound care and limb salvage. An emphasis on billing and coding and private practice is also provided. The residency at DVA-Dayton strives for a healthy work-life balance while also encouraging residents to be life-long learners.
