 St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan has sponsored a podiatric medical and surgical residency (PM&S-36) since September of 2007. We are fully accredited by CPME. The program has its original roots in the former St. Clare's Hospital - and later St. Vincent's Midtown Hospital - where the program began in 1989.
The goal of the residency program is to provide effective, high quality patient care in a stimulating academic environment to support educational growth and development. We currently are approved for nine PM&S-36 residents in training. Residents who complete our program are board eligible for ABPS as well as ABPOPPM.
Rotations:
The first year of the 36 month podiatric residency training program at St. Vincent's Hospital is considered an "internship" or PGY I. Responsibilities, work load and call schedule are consistent with other individuals engaged in postgraduate training within the institution. Rotations include general surgery, medicine, emergency department, medical imaging, community health and anesthesia. Each PGY I interacts with greater than 700 patients during the first year.
The second years affords greater involvement in specialty clinics and lower extremity surgery. Rotations include podiatric medicine and surgery, plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery, vascular surgery, neurology, wound care, pediatrics and dermatology. The second and third years are focused on lower extremity pathology and surgery. Rotations are at our hospital as well as at the Gramercy Surgery Center a few blocks away. In addition to clinical and didactic activities, each resident performs far greater numbers of procedures than the Minimum Activity Volume (MAV) as determined by CPME. Last year our residents performed 2450 procedures, while CPME requires only 1575.
The process of resident selection is objective and fair, resulting in the recruitment of the finest, most capable house staff for training. All applicants are given equal consideration without bias toward age, race, religion, gender or sexual preference. Applicants from all Colleges of Podiatric Medicine are encouraged.
Interviews are scheduled through the Centralized Regional Interview Program (CRIP) conducted by the AACPM, or at a mutually convenient time at the Hospital.
The podiatry residency program is administered by the podiatry section of the Department of Orthopaedics, Edwin Wolf, DPM, MS, Director, Podiatric Medical Education; Eli Bryk, M.D, Chairman, Orthopaedics.
