Podiatric Surgery at Kaiser Permanente
Santa Clara
 The
Podiatric Surgical Residency Program in Santa Clara is a three year
PSR 24+ position. One resident is selected annually for the three-year
position. We will convert to a PM&S 36 program on our next on-site
evaluation in 2008. The resident's responsibilities include a very
busy outpatient clinic, taking call for hospitalized patients, Emergency
Room, and podiatric and orthopedic surgical assisting. The residents
are responsible for doing full preoperative and postoperative evaluations
on surgical cases. Surgical training is extensive in adult and pediatric
forefoot, rear foot, and ankle procedures.
The Santa Clara medical center is a teaching hospital with in-house
residents in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Ob/Gyn, and
Podiatry. Students and residents from Stanford University rotate
through the departments of General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Vascular
Surgery, Neurology, Otolaryngology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and
Anesthesia. The Division of Podiaric Surgery is within the Department
of Orthopedic Surgery and shares a common clinical facility with
the orthopedic surgeons and Sports Medcine MDs. There is an excellent
relationship between the podiatric surgeons and the orthopedic surgeons
that allows for a very pleasant collegial working and learning environment.
Podiatry residents participate in scheduled rotations through the
departments of Anesthesiology, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery,Vascular
Surgery, Infectious Disease, Radiology, Internal Medicine, Orthopedics,
Pathology, Emergency Medicine, and Rheumatology. Residents also
participate in a monthly Pediatric Foot Clinic. Adjacent to the
Podiatry Clinic building is a fully staffed health plan library
with computerized medical search capabilities.
