Podiatric Medicine
Saint Mary – Chicago offers an excellent and rewarding Podiatric Medicine and Surgery-36 (PM&S-36) Residency Program. From its founding in 1988 to 2010, we trained 34 podiatry residents.
Our mission is to educate podiatrists to become well-trained health care professionals — both medically and surgically. The ultimate goal of the program is to graduate competent, ethical and compassionate podiatric physicians and surgeons who practice evidence-based medicine — and are prepared for tomorrow’s challenges in this field.
Welcome to Our Program
A strong, all-encompassing, comprehensive package for the residency experience
Residents have the ability to access and follow patients in an office and hospital setting. In addition, residents will have the unique opportunity of following up with their surgical patients throughout the duration of the peri-operative period. As a result, residents will become confident, capable and comfortable at assessing and managing future patients in the OR setting, as well as after surgery.
A vibrant, diverse urban population
The immense patient volume in the clinic provides residents with firsthand, “real-life” experience in all aspects of podiatric medicine and surgery. Clinical training will prepare residents to treat and manage a multitude of pathologies from simple to complex in patients of all ages — from pediatric to geriatric.
Be an active participant on day one
This might include working in the clinic or hospital. You won’t be standing on the side lines observing — you will have an active role on the team.
No need for travel
All facets of training occur at Saint Mary – Chicago, so no travel required.
