Learn moreThe Podiatry Residency Program at SBH
In the Bronx, podiatric surgery plays a critical role in addressing foot and ankle conditions that can greatly affect mobility and quality of life. Our Podiatric Surgery Residency Program is dedicated to training the next generation of skilled surgeons, providing comprehensive care to a community with diverse needs. With hands-on experience in both routine and complex procedures, our residents are equipped to make a lasting impact on the health and well-being of our patients.
Overview
The Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency Programs at St. Barnabas Hospital are composed of a 36-month program offering podiatric medicine and surgery (PMSR) and 3 positions in the podiatric medicine and surgery with additional credentialing in reconstructive rear-foot and ankle surgery (PMSR/RRA). These programs are approved by the Council on Podiatric Medicine Education (CPME), and currently each program accepts 3 new residents per year.
Located in the Bronx, New York, and surrounded by 1.6 million people that live and work in this New York City borough, the podiatric and orthopedic surgeons at St. Barnabas Hospital have been providing the highest level of primary care, trauma surgery, reconstructive and elective surgery of the foot and ankle for decades. Our residency program is one of the oldest in the hospital and has a long track record of training hundreds of foot surgeons.
The economic, racial, and national diversity of the population in the area where the hospital is located provides a significant amount of common and rare podiatric and orthopedic pathology. This experience, combined with being just miles outside of the center of New York City, makes this program a very special place to spend the three years of residency training.
As the American patient population’s life expectancy and level of activity continue to grow, so does the need for quality foot care. In addition to reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, the needs of the diabetic patient with regard to preventing lower extremity amputations is directly linked to the podiatric care they receive. The program provides a wealth of educational resources including: reconstructive foot and ankle surgery; diabetic wound care and limb preservation; pediatric orthopedics and trauma. We continue to attract the best podiatric physician candidates from colleges nationwide and provide a comprehensive and diverse educational experience.
