Our 36 month program sponsors 9 residents; three per year for three years. During the first year, residents train with attending podiatry and medical physicians who provide education, supervision and performance assessment. While rotating in other specialty services, the residents make frequent inpatient rounds with the healthcare team, attend educational conferences, supplemented by conferences held by the Division of Podiatry. In year two of training, the residents become actively involved in podiatric surgery, focusing on the performance of foot surgery and exposure to reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle.
