Emory University School of Medicine

Introduction

Founded in July 1969, the Podiatric Medicine and Surgery residency training program at Emory was the first three-year training program in the United States in foot, ankle and leg surgery. It is nationally and internationally recognized as a leader in foot and ankle surgery and attracts exceptional residents from across the United States and the world. Residents receive extensive surgical training and are involved in the assessment and treatment of patients with a great diversity of pathology on a daily basis. At the end of three years, residents can expect to have completed the requirements for a Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with the added credential in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR/RRA). Our academic home is within the Emory School of Medicine's Department of Orthopaedics.

Residency Overview

The podiatry staff of Emory is composed of some of the foremost educators in the profession. Residents are exposed to patients with a large diversity of pathologies and approaches to treatment. We cover a large number of trauma cases from two emergency departments. The hospital experience is supplemented with office clinics and a charity clinic which is covered by the residents as well as a wound clinic. We believe that the quality of the educational experience of this program is reflected in the success of many of our graduates. Numerous graduates of the program have served the profession in a variety of ways, including full time faculty members of some of the colleges of podiatric medicine, leadership roles in state societies, the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
