Monthly schedules are available through the Podiatry office by contacting the residency coordinator.  Podiatric Grand Rounds Held monthly with all residents required to attend. Journal Club Held monthly or bi-monthly with all residents required to attend. Metropod Conference Held quarterly with other residency programs in the Virginia/Maryland/District of Columbia area. Workshops Weekly workshops held at our onsite ASTEC lab ranging from suture labs, sawbone labs with internal/external fixation, cadaveric dissections and arthroscopy. Radiology Conference Held bi-monthly in conjunction with a musculoskeletal radiologist. All residents required to attend. Research All residents will be required to produce a publishable quality peer-reviewed research project prior to graduation. The research coordinator of the program will coordinate the schedule and monitor the resident's progress in meeting appropriate deadlines.
