Podiatric Surgery
Our Faculty
Chief of Podiatric Surgery at UCLA: Aksone Nouvong, DPM (Associate Program Director at UCLA)
Our three-year surgical based residency program aims to train residents to become well rounded podiatric physicians and surgeons. Residents receive training from some of the most respected teaching hospitals in Los Angeles with a diverse patient population at the Greater Los Angeles, UCLA, Olive-View UCLA, and Kaiser Hospitals. At these facilities, our residents learn from numerous nationally recognized attendings. Training involves exposure to a wide variety of lower extremity pathology including trauma, limb salvage, reconstruction, and elective surgery. Additionally, residents have vast opportunities to participate in research studies. Research at our program has been robustly funded by more than $3 million in grants.
