From the Residency Program Director and the
Chief of the Podiatric Surgical Service
Thank you for your interest in Christiana Care's
Podiatric Medicine & Surgey-36 residency program. We invite you to
take a closer look at what our progressive, well-established program has
to offer.
Podiatric medicine has a rich tradition in Delaware
and is well-integrated into the general medical community. Over the years
our specialty has excelled in both clinical and academic endeavors. At
Christiana Care we have created a residency opportunity designed to
maximize the podiatric physician's knowledge and experience. Our major
strengths are a highly-accessible and dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art
facilities and a diverse patient population.
The Christiana Care faculty and administration are
committed to the education of our residents. We have structured a
well-rounded curriculum with a high surgical volume. It is noteworthy that
all podiatric physicians on staff are eithercertified or qualified by the
American Board of Podiatric Surgery.
Christiana Care Health System operates two
high-regarded acute care hospitals in downtown Wilmington and Newark,
Delaware. In addition, there are impressive rehabilitation and
transitional care facilities, and a vast network of outpatient services.
Podiatry residents interface with primary care and specialty physicians on
a daily basis where they learn the skills, judgement, professionalism and
confidence which help form the foundation in becoming a successful
practitioner.
After three years of training, our residents are
well prepared for professional careers, whether their interests lie in
private practice, teaching, research or community service.
