The Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center Foot and Ankle Fellowship is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The primary goal of the program is to provide the fellow with the educational experience that maximizes the opportunity to understand, evaluate and treat orthopaedic foot and ankle conditions. The foot and ankle service is also committed to preparing the fellow for participation in quality research and education of residents, interns and medical students. This is achieved by combining a structured study program utilizing extensive recommended reading lists with the clinical experience that has an appropriate balance between office evaluation and surgical treatment of foot and ankle related conditions. The fellow will conduct foot and ankle journal club, provide lectures to the residents, present grand rounds, attend required conferences and participate in research in the Department of Orthopaedics.
The fellow is also exposed to a balanced educational experience with three foot and ankle attending physicians and has the option for additional participation in trauma and pediatrics.
