Podiatric Surgery at Vallejo
Kaiser Consortium at Vallejo, Santa Rosa, and San Rafael
The
program at Kaiser Hospital Vallejo is a consortium model where our
residents train not only at Kaiser Vallejo but also at the Kaiser
Permanente medical centers in San Rafael and Santa Rosa. We take
three residents per year for a three surgical program and have been
approved as a PM&S-36 by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education.
First year rotations are completed at Kaiser Vallejo except for
two months of outside rotations at San Francisco General Hospital
Trauma Surgery Service and Highland Hospital Emergency Room. The
second and third years will consist of rotating four month podiatric
surgery blocks at each of the three medical centers. We provide
high level training in every area of podiatric medicine and surgery
with exceptionally strong experience in perioperative management
and a dedication to the principles of evidence based medicine. Podiatrists
in Northern California Kaiser are fully integrated into the medical
center setting and residency training benefits from this high level
of parity. We continue to have an externship program but it is not
required for application to the residency. We do however require
applicants to be new graduates with a minimum 3.25 GPA. Make sure

and Our Faculty.
