Program highlights
Accreditation
Our program is fully accredited by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) for three first year, three second year and three third year positions. In addition, slots are available for two fourth-year podiatric medical students each month. We are not directly affiliated with any college of podiatry.
Training
We provide residents with clinical and surgical experience that allows them to take their place as active, knowledgeable and integral members of the medical community. The Legacy/Kaiser Podiatric Surgical Residency Program takes place at:
- Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, home of the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Oregon verified by the American College of Surgeons, the Oregon Burn Center (the only one between Seattle and Sacramento), The Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel and a variety of outpatient clinics.
- Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center, featuring centers of excellence in heart, cancer and stroke care and Devers Eye Institute. Both Emanuel and Good Samaritan provide inpatient and outpatient medicine and surgery training at several diverse locations, resulting in an environment in which Podiatrists are trained as physicians both in medical and podiatric patient management. See About Legacy for more information.
- Kaiser Permanente Northwest Foundation, including Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center, Sunnybrook Medical Office and Surgery Center, Interstate Kaiser Surgery Center and Mother Joseph Plaza, located on the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center campus, provides residents with hands-on inpatient podiatric medicine and surgery experience, with both outpatient clinical and surgical patient contact.
- Residents also experience training opportunities in other environments, such as Providence Health System, Portland Adventist Hospital, Tuality Medical Center, Southwest Washington Medical Center and local community surgery centers.
Academic Commitment:
- Our program features comprehensive evidence-based curriculum with biweekly organized meetings, a weekly resident lecture series and textbook chapter review, monthly journal club, cadaveric dissection lab and sawbone workshops, community case discussion and visiting clinician lecture series.
- Extensive library resources, including Ovid, MD Consult and access to current literature from multiple medical libraries are available on every hospital computer at all locations.
- Institutional support for the program insures generous resident benefits.
