These residencies can provide a sufficient volume and diversity in reconstructive rearfoot and ankle procedures and are approved grant an added credential in RRA. Completion of a Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with the added credential leads to the RRA certification pathway of ABFAS.
The Office of Graduate Placement is located through the director’s office. The Graduate Placement Office has periodic meetings about the application process as well as preparation for interviews. This office also organizes daily meetings during the summer/fall, in which residency programs come to TUSPM and offer presentations on their programs.
