Clerkship Overview
Students observe and participate in basic podiatric procedures, patient care, and case management under supervision. WVU Medicine Foot and Ankle Surgical Residency offers a critical bridge between podiatric medical school and residency where third- and fourth-year students will have hands-on exposure to podiatric medicine and surgery in real-world settings. This 4-week rotation (about 40 hours/week) will give the student a broad view of the podiatric practice with emphasizes on foot and ankle surgery and diverse rotations with our experienced faculty in podiatric surgery.
