Overview
This division strives to provide each participating resident with the best possible exposure in the delivery of podiatric medical and surgical care consistent with the training objective of the respective programs and reflective of the healthcare delivery system. Rotations at institutions (located outside of the College and its affiliated Foot Clinics) provide opportunities to experience and participate in podiatric medical care at the graduate level. The New York College of Podiatric Medicine/ Metropolitan Hospital residency program is designed as a 36-month program offering a Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with the additional credential in Reconstructive Rear-foot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR/RRA). It is approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) and is accredited by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. This residency program provides the recent graduate with the opportunity to experience the problems of general practice and to study advances and related sciences essential to the practice of podiatric medicine, podiatric surgery, and primary podiatric medicine. This program also provides a more effective method of improving community foot health and prepare the resident for interaction with the total community health care team.To be eligible to participate in the training program each resident is required to have a Limited NYS Permit for the year. Current NYS regulations state that this must be renewed by application each year. In the event that a resident possesses a full, valid NYS License, a resident permit is also required. This permit must be obtained prior to July 1 or the resident cannot participate in the program.
Responsibilities
Residents will be selected for a one-year term beginning July 1 of the current year and ending June 30th of the following year unless by mutual agreement of the DPME and resident.
A resident may advance to or be placed in a successive year of training by meeting applicable requirements as below:
i. Successful completion of the current year in residency.
Achieving a satisfactory annual evaluation of the resident's performance from the residency review committee
Acceptance by the residency selection committee, in the case of transfer-in resident(s).
Matriculation to a successive year is not guaranteed. Matriculation is based upon successful performance of the resident at each level and available positions for the respective training year.
Resident stipend is determined for each year and stated in the residency contract. Group term life insurance and long-term disability are provided for the resident with the same conditions that apply to full-time faculty of the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Group health insurance will be offered as an option as such:
Coverage through the College's employee group health insurance plan will require the same cost-sharing as that offered to regular full-time faculty of the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.
Both plans meet the standards as set forth in the Federal mandate of the Affordable Healthcare Act. All benefits and health insurance plans are subject to change at any time for any reason.
