A podiatric residency is postgraduate training and a requirement for all podiatric medical students that have completed four years of professional graduate education and have passed the required American Podiatric Medical Licensing Examinations (APMLE) Parts I and II. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post graduate training provides podiatric medical graduates with structured learning and exposure to the profession as they transition from student doctors to competent, independent physicians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Podiatric residency programs encompass both podiatric medicine and surgery. The programs are resource-based, competency-driven, assessment-validated and consist of 3-years of postgraduate training in inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical management of the lower extremity. Many residencies offer credentialing in reconstructive rear foot\/ankle surgery (PMSR\/RRA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other types of medical residencies can be competitive and exclusionary, but podiatric medical school graduates can expect to be placed in a residency. In 2022, 100% of those that applied for residency were placed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
