Podiatry Curriculum
Our Podiatry Residency Curriculum equips residents with the tools they need for professional success. In addition to extensive hands-on experience, our residents also participate in scholarly activity and research.
Podiatry Curriculum Goals
We aim to provide residents with a vast array of clinical and didactic learning opportunities. In addition to the hands-on facets of our program, residents also benefit from:
- Monthly journal club meetings
- Presentations
- Research opportunities and scholarly activity
Podiatry residents also learn the most leading-edge surgical procedures to address forefoot and rearfoot deformities. We partner with multiple institutions to expand the comprehensive range of surgical experience for our podiatry residents. These local institutions include:
- Adventist Health Glendale
- Beverly Community Hospital
- Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center
- Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara Medical Center
- Keck Medicine of University of Southern California (USC)[AH1]
