Welcome to the Home of High-Quality Podiatric Medicine & Surgery Education
Overview
Our program began with the 2017-2018 academic year, with PMSR/RRA certification, and emphasizes all aspects of podiatric care from basic clinical experiences to advanced reconstructive procedures.
Residents have opportunities to learn from expert medical and surgical specialists from multiple health care facilities within Rochester Regional Health, allowing for a multidisciplinary approach to education and medicine. Rotations include internal medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, wound care, radiology, endocrinology, infectious disease, behavioral sciences, pathology, and laboratory medicine. Extensive training in podiatric medicine and surgery is complemented by rotations in orthopedic surgery, vascular surgery, general surgery, and plastic surgery.
Rochester General Hospital’s podiatric residency program stresses a hands-on and interactive approach to teaching. Students will learn by doing, not watching. Along with a truly hands-on experience, students participate in monthly journal clubs, case discussions, resident presentations, and numerous research opportunities.
