Bridgeport Hospital Yale New Haven Health

Introduction

The program enables residents to experience a variety of lower extremity conditions in an inpatient and outpatient setting. Conditions include trauma, all forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot/ankle deformities, lower-limb complications from diabetes, infections, biomechanical deformities and major limb deformities. The residency program works closely with the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine, which specializes in all wounds, especially those that do not heal with standard treatments. Residents also manage burn patients in The Connecticut Burn Center, the only burn center in Connecticut. Residents also medically and surgically manage patients at Yale New Haven Health Greenwich Hospital and Yale New Haven Health Milford Hospital. Residency provides an interdisciplinary experience with rotations such as internal medicine, radiology, critical care, pediatrics, emergency medicine, psychiatry, wound care, endocrinology, general surgery, burn, anesthesiology, infectious disease and vascular surgery. Emphasis is placed on academics and surgery. Activities include monthly journal clubs, resident lectures, complications review, board review, workshops and guest lecture presentations. All conduct research and attend academic conferences, nationally and internationally.
