Mission Statement

The mission of the Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Podiatric Medicine & Surgery - 36 (PM&S-36) is to train residents as health professionals who are involved in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot and ankle disorders by medical, physical and surgical means. The program provides for podiatric training in a multidisciplinary setting where the residents can gain experience working with and along side other medical practitioners in providing total health care.

Program Description

The residency program is designed to provide an intensive clinical experience, which supplements the resident's previous podiatric medical experience. This is a podiatric training program 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.
