The program has strong administrative and educational support from the Hahnemann University Hospital, Drexel University College of Medicine and the office of Graduate Medical Education. The academic program is well structured and the rules of governance are in order and well defined. The hospital has provided a full scope of podiatric medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle.

The residency program also receives clinical training in the offices of the Foot and Ankle Center of Philadelphia, the private office of Dr. Steven Boc and Dr. Ramon Lopez.
