The curriculum for the Reconstructive Foot/Ankle and Limb Salvage fellowship is structured to provide the fellow with additional experiences in the diagnosis and management of patients with a variety of diseases, disorders and injuries.

Foot & Ankle Orthopedics

Orthopedic principles and procedures are the basis and foundation of a podiatric practice. It is therefore imperative to have a thorough understanding in orthopedic surgery including the foot and ankle. The goal of this rotation is to provide residents with direct exposure to the practice of orthopedic foot and ankle surgery.

Orthopedic Trauma

Orthopedic principles and procedures are the basis and foundation of a podiatric practice. It is therefore imperative to have a thorough understanding in orthopedic surgery, especially in regard to traumatic injuries of the lower extremities. The goal of this rotation is to provide residents with direct exposure to the practice of orthopedic surgery.

Orthopedic Tumor

Exposes fellows to orthopedic oncology in both practice and surgical settings in order to develop their skills identifying and evaluating musculoskeletal lesions and tumors.

Podiatric Medicine & Surgery

An integral part of this 36-month program is the attempt to involve the resident as much as possible in a clinic and office setting to better prepare the podiatric resident in office/clinic management from patient care to general operations of an office. Additionally, the resident will have direct exposure and participation in podiatric surgical cases.
