About Our Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency Program

The Virtua Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency Program with Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery was established in 1984 as a 24-month podiatric surgical program at West Jersey Health System. Initially offering one slot per year, a second position was added in 1988.

In 1999, West Jersey merged with Memorial Hospital Burlington County to form Virtua. In 2019, Virtua expanded by acquiring Lourdes Health System, and most recently incorporated Virtua Reconstructive Orthopedics into its growing network further strengthening the surgical foundation of the program.
