University Hospitals Community Consortium

Introduction

University Hospitals’ podiatric training program began in the late 1980s with its inaugural class graduating three residents. Today, as part of University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center, the residency program has grown to become one of the largest and most successful podiatric training programs in the United States. The Podiatric Medicine and Surgical Residency is a comprehensive, three-year, hands-on, surgery-based learning experience fully accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education. University Hospitals collaborates closely with Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine, with contributions from both clinical and research faculty enhancing the residents’ education. The program benefits from the active participation and support of 12 area hospitals, six surgical centers, and 75 adjunct faculty members—including allopathic, osteopathic, and podiatric physicians—offering residents exposure to diverse urban, suburban, and rural care environments. Over the past 25 years, University Hospitals has graduated more than 250 podiatric residents, who now provide lower extremity care across nearly all 50 states in the U.S.
