Rotations
The three-year surgical residency program offers extensive instruction in various medical specialties and the development of outstanding skills in the surgical and conservative management of foot and ankle pathology.
Two residents are accepted each year for a 3-year commitment. The first two years are based at St. Vincent Charity Hospital. The final year is spent rotating between SVCH and Dr. Grossman's private practice.
The first year is a well-rounded experience with a full range of hospital rotations. Podiatric surgery experience is generally limited to forefoot procedures and infection management. The second year focuses on refining skills in all aspects of forefoot and basic rear foot surgery. The third year is spent performing complex reconstructive procedures and traumas as well as emphasizing education of students and residents.
