The Podiatric Residency Program at Botsford Hospital is a three-year residency called the Podiatric Medicine and Surgical Residency/ Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle (PMSR/RRA). The PMSR/RRA program is structured to meet standard requirements and guidelines for approved podiatric medical and surgical residencies by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education and the American Podiatric Medical Association. It prepares residents to sit for qualification with the American Board of Podiatric Surgery (ABPS), and American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM). The PMSR/RRA program is recognized by the ABPS, ABPM, ACFAS, and ACFAOM.
Completing the first year of the PMSR/RRA program, the podiatric resident attains competence in all aspects of podiatric and medical knowledge, skills and professional attitudes to supplement a well rounded residency in clinical podiatric medicine.
