Overview/Curriculum

The Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency Program consists of PMSR-R/RA approved program. The program is a full three-year program accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME), and sponsors nine residents (three in each year of training). The Brooklyn Hospital Center is an academic affiliate of The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, as well as a clinical affiliate of Mount Sinai Hospital.

At The Brooklyn Hospital Center, residents practice alongside dedicated podiatric physicians. Our residency teaching staff and the program director are greatly experienced in forefoot and rearfoot/ankle surgery, wound care, reconstructive foot surgery and traumatology.

Podiatric residents at TBHC will experience a high surgical caseload with strong exposure in orthopedics. Residents are involved with a high number of rearfoot surgery cases and have a very fair on-call schedule.

Upon completion of the three years of training, residents should exhibit the knowledge and psychomotor skill needed to become a well-trained foot and ankle surgeon.

The Brooklyn Hospital Center will allow residents the utmost exposure and fundamentals to develop an invaluable experience.

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

All rotations are supervised by podiatry attending and/or medical physician, who provide supervision, education and assessment. The attending/staff are involved in daily inpatient rounds. During off service rotations, the podiatry residents attend program educational lectures, conferences and M&M.

In PGY-II level, a significant component of the training process allows the resident to be involved in podiatric surgery with a strong focus on foot and ankle surgery, consultations and reconstructive surgery, which may include complex trauma situations. Residents will also be actively involved in a variety of patient care needs.

Upon completion of the three years of training, residents will have encountered all major fundamentals of the field of podiatry and should exhibit the knowledge and psychomotor skills needed to become a well-trained foot and ankle surgeon.
