HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital

Introduction

The Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency (PMSR) is a 36-month podiatric residency program at HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital. In keeping with the mission of our sponsoring institution, it is designed to provide the academic and clinical foundations for the Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Our mission is to train individuals who will provide high quality, cost-effective, compassionate and accessible care to all patients. The Program seeks to: • Sensitize students to the diversity of health care needs and the impact of socioeconomic factors on health care. We believe that tolerance, understanding, and cultural sensitivity are vital attributes needed by health care professionals practicing in a vibrant and highly diverse urban environment. • Encourage and motivate our students to return to their communities and improve the access to quality health care. • Foster the development of the interpersonal skills, attitudes and behavior that are needed to function competently, confidently, and compassionately as health care professionals • Develop an understanding of the role of the podiatrist within the health care system, the provision of health care services, health promotion and disease prevention. • Integrate the basic sciences, social sciences, medical education and clinical training to provide a comprehensive introduction to the practice of podiatric medicine and surgery. • Provide the competencies necessary to allow the graduate to ultimately achieve Board Certification status by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and The American Board of Podiatric Surgery for both Foot Surgery and the added credential for Reconstructive Rearfoot/ Ankle Surgery. • Develop competencies in written and oral communication skills. We believe that clinicians must be able to communicate clearly with their peers and with their patients. • Develop learning strategies for life-long learning. • Encourage collaboration in learning and working. • Encourage the students to empower their patients and advocate for their needs. • Serve as role models in the medical community.
