| Popis: | Residency training in podiatric medicine and surgery includes 3years of comprehensive training. Complementing their podiatric medicine and surgery training, residents complete a series of required nonpodiatric, or off-service, rotations in a range of specialties. However, there has been a lack of formal investigation of these off-service rotation experiences. An online survey was developed and distributed to both program directors and residents nationwide. The survey instrument covered various aspects of off-service rotations, including rotation value, length, goals and objectives, activities, feedback, and resident satisfaction. In total, 122 of 222 directors responded and 151 of 243 residents responded. Resident responses reflected the impact of podiatric responsibilities during off-service rotations and the importance of hands-on, interactive, and dedicated learning opportunities during these rotations. Both similarities and differences were appreciated with regard to perceived rotation value between resident and director perspectives. Perceived satisfaction of certain rotations was correlated with rotation length, feedback, specific rotation activities, and whether residents received goals and objectives. Though perhaps neglected, the off-service rotation experience is an important part of the podiatric medical and surgical residency experience. Considering the perspectives of both directors and residents can be helpful in directing these experiences and in considering future changes. |
