The PSR24 primary podiatric medical residency program of Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers � Queens' department of podiatry is a 24-month program designed to provide residents with an extensive background and intensive clinical experience in podiatric medicine. It offers a strong educational experience designed to prepare residents for the general practice of podiatry and forefoot surgery. The program is a nice entry-level program and is a pathway to the wound care/geriatric fellowship.

The PSR36 podiatric surgical residency program is also an entry-level program, and is designed to provide residents with an extensive background of clinical podiatry and offers an intensive training experience in both forefoot and reconstructive rearfoot surgery.  although residents work closely with the primary podiatric medical residents, each program is separate and distinct. Residents must complete three years of training in foot and ankle surgery. This program is designed in strict adherence to the guidelines set forth by the Council of Podiatric Medical Education. The curriculum, evolved over the past years, conveys a graduated system of education, from simple forefoot to complicated rearfoot and ankle procedures. Training includes a strong emphasis on complicated forefoot and rearfoot cases, including flat foot reconstruction and Charcot reconstruction with external fixationperioperative care, as well as management of the complicated surgical patient.  This program is also a pathway to the wound care/geriatric fellowship.  Residents are heavily involved in limb salvage surgical cases.
