Residency Overview

Beautifully situated on the Hudson River overlooking the west side of Manhattan, Hackensack Meridian Health-Palisades offers a unique podiatric residency experience within an institution that also has residents in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, and General Surgery. Though our residents have formal rotations in IM and Gen Surg, podiatric residents are welcome to rotate with any of the other programs during their elective months. I encourage anyone that wants a challenging and rewarding podiatric program to visit and Palisades will not disappoint.
