Louisiana Podiatric Surgery

Medical students looking to expand into the field of podiatric surgery have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience & training in Southwest Louisiana.

Medical students looking to expand into the
field of podiatric surgery will have an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and training from foot and ankle surgeons at the Center for Orthopaedics (CFO), as well as other specialists and hospitals in the region who are part of the program. The residency is a three-year, surgically oriented program that will focus on foot and ankle surgery and comprehensive podiatric medicine. Doctors entering the program will have already earned their DPM, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. The residency program will give these doctors more intense training in hospitals and surgical centers across the region. These residents will also gain extensive direct patient care experience in the areas of wound care, diabetic care, and podiatric research. Residents will receive podiatric and orthopedic experience, including clinical and practice management in the hospital and office settings. Residents will also rotate in various specialties at hospitals, including emergency medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, pediatrics and radiology, receiving training from 14 participating doctors and specialties. In addition, these residents will complete rotations through LSU Health Science Center in New Orleans and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, which will give them advanced surgical and enhanced research experience in their field. Because the residency is partnered with the Center for Orthopaedics, the region’s largest musculoskeletal group, the residents will not only have the opportunity to work closely with experienced orthopaedic surgeons and specialists, they will also work within the group’s Sports Medicine Program, which provides services to 14 area high schools and athletes from McNeese State University. This adds a training aspect to the program that many podiatric residents don’t access to.
