Our three-year program has received continuing accreditation status with the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME). Our office, surgical, medical, wound care, and biomechanical patient encounters exceed the Minimum Activity Volume (MAV) for each category as established by the CPME. Our podiatric medical students and residents are the sole trainees participating in all podiatric surgical cases at MVHS, providing our learner with an unopposed experience. Additionally, our residents and students are provided with weekly protective time for academics, which includes Journal Clubs, Faculty Lectures, Radiology Rounds, Self-Study Time, and Cadaver labs.Residency Director

Residency Overview
Our PMSR/RRA program is a dynamic, growing residency, offering comprehensive training in podiatric medicine and surgery. The curriculum provides a balanced experience with intensive podiatric clinic and surgical rotations, complemented by off-service medical and surgical training to support well-rounded clinical development.
