Residency Overview

The Carilion Clinic section of Orthopaedics and Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery will educate residents, who, upon completion of training should exhibit the knowledge to manage a wide variety of foot and ankle pathology. The residents will complete rotations in radiology, emergency medicine, orthopedic surgery, and podiatric medicine. All rotations are under the guidance of Carilion Clinic faculty and will include a large volume of clinical work in each specialty. During the first year, the resident will complete the majority of the non-podiatric requirements. The second and third years will be heavily focused on forefoot surgery, complex reconstructive hindfoot surgery, and orthopedic surgery.
