RESIDENCY PROGRAM Scholl College/Illinois Masonic PM&S-36
Program Description Program accepts only graduates of the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine.
The residency, a co-sponsored program between Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science/Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, is designed to provide an intensive clinical experience which supplements the resident’s previous podiatric medical experiences. The podiatric training program is in a major teaching facility; the responsibilities placed on the residents will be substantial and challenging. The program is a CPME accredited Podiatric Medicine & Surgery - 36 (PM&S-36) program, the first year of training being completed at the John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County where the residents will participate in rotations involving anesthesiology, emergency medicine, internal medicine, orthopedic surgery/fracture service, out-patient podiatry clinics, in-patient podiatry management, and podiatric surgery, radiology.
The 2nd and 3rd year takes place at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center in full where there are on-going rotations in podiatric surgery, out-patient podiatric clinics, in-patient management, as well as rotations in emergency medicine, internal medicine, infectious disease, orthopedic surgery, trauma and wound care. The sites for provision of podiatric care in the PGY-2 and 3 years include Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center itself, private physician offices within Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center , Advocate Trinity Hospital where there is a resident assigned each month to cover floor work and the O.R, and also several surgery centers. In the PGY-3 year each resident is expected to spend a month off campus at the Northern Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico in order to have a month of dedicated reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery in a unique patient population, in addition to those reconstructive procedures obtained while on rotation at other locations during the program. There is also a dedicated Podopediatrics experience at LaRabida Hospital in Chicago .
We can offer:
Curriculum The Podiatric Medicine & Surgery – 36 Residency Program is designed around a 36 month track, each resident level year requiring specific rotations be completed. The Grid below is an example of the current year rotation requirements and scheduling. It should be noted that when on non-podiatric services the residents will function as any other resident of that service and take the same call as other residents on that service. The only exceptions to this are for consult services, e.g. infectious disease where the resident will still be expected to take back-up call for the podiatry service.

Conferences There are two weekly podiatry conferences attended by the residency director and other members of the faculty. In addition, a monthly Journal Club is held, a resident presentation is done in conjunction with the Monthly Grand Rounds. Residents are encouraged to attend Internal Medicine and General Surgery Morning Reports and Grand Rounds as their schedule permits and may be required to present at these from time to time. It is required that residents rotating off service attend all conferences, M&M’s, etc. that pertains to the service that they are on at that time. These take precedence over podiatry conferences for the residents involved.
Schedule Grid Faculty The faculty involved in the podiatry residency program are all board certified, board qualified or board eligible in their respective subspecialties within the field of podiatric medicine and surgery.
