The Podiatry Residency Program welcomed its first resident in 1989. From inception, all 18 residents have successfully graduated from the program and successfully passed board-qualifying exams.

The Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) has most recently approved the program as a PM&S 36.

For the first two years of the three-year program, much of the training is hospital based. While the emphasis is surgery, currently the first year resident rotates through:

• Anesthesia
  
• Dermatology
  
• Emergency Medicine
  
• Infectious Diseases
  
• Orthopedics
  
• Pathology
  
• Radiology
  
• Rehab/PT
  
• Wound Care

Second year training includes:

• Emergency Medicine
  
• Endocrinology
  
• Internal Medicine
  
• Orthopedics
  
• Plastic Surgery
  
• Rheumotology
  
• Vascular
  
• Wound Care

Third year training includes more of the above with the addition of:

• Behavioral Medicine
• General Surgery
  

Residents spend time in private podiatry practices where patient care management and office management experience is obtained. The residents are exposed to many podiatric and non-podiatric teaching faculties to draw on a wide variety of clinical and surgical experiences.
