Program Mission Statement

The Podiatry Residency Program is operated by McLaren Oakland Hospital and is dedicated to the development and maintenance of a training program of the highest quality. We strive for excellence, and committed to serving the community, the sponsoring institution, the faculty, staff and resident physicians.

The Podiatric Residency Program transforms residents into knowledgeable, competent and safe podiatrists. The means to that end represent a series of supervised patient care experiences in a system of graduated responsibilities. It is the hope of residency leadership that these guidelines will assist residents in accruing the knowledge, skill, and ability required to safely practice Podiatric and surgical medicine.
