The resident on the Foot and Ankle service will gain an in-depth exposure to the wide variety of Orthopaedic pathology related to the foot and ankle. The evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of both basic and complex foot and ankle conditions are learned in the clinical setting. Residents are exposed to “bread and butter” cases to solidify their baseline foot and ankle knowledge, as well as emerging and progressive surgical techniques that address to today’s unanswered clinical problems. At the end of each rotation, the residents will have extensive clinical and operative experience in both open and arthroscopic surgical techniques including talar dome microfracture, total ankle replacement, and fusion procedures. Residents work one-on-one with our different faculty members throughout their rotation, allowing for the development of multiple mentoring relationships. The Emory foot and ankle faculty have a wide variety of training backgrounds, providing residents with a truly diverse educational experience. Residents most commonly operate at the Emory Musculoskeletal Institute and the Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center, although some cases are performed at the Emory Dunwoody and the Emory Spivey Station ambulatory surgical centers. The foot and ankle service holds two weekly educational sessions and one monthly journal club. Educational sessions include preoperative and postoperative case conference discussions, didactic sessions, and research discussions. Journal club emphasizes the review of recent literature in the field and how it can be incorporated into current practice.
