  • Sobre el programa

    Sobre el programa


    Early in training, residents maintain direct communication with other senior staff members and residents and share decision making responsibilities with the podiatric faculty with respect to treatment and recommendations.

    Initially, residents see patients with the members of the faculty and, as competency and proficiency increase, begin to see some patients independently.

    Residents have individual desk space with 24-hour access to online services. All medical charting, imaging, labs, etc. are electronic and can be accessed via computer. Residents also have access to a medical library where searches and article retrieval can be done online or on campus. The onsite medical library is supported by both Scott & White and Texas A&M Health Science Center. Articles can be sent electronically or by mail.
