We thank you for your interest in our Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency program. Our three-year PMSR/RRA program at McLaren Macomb is designed to prepare residents for successful practice in podiatric surgery. Our program is the evolution of the former Civic Hospital/Kern residency training program and is the oldest continually running training program in the US for podiatric surgery. We strive to be the premier academic training program in Metro Detroit!
McLaren Macomb Hospital has abundant and robust resources for graduate medical education, with institutional support from McLaren Health and Michigan State University. We are one of the busiest emergency departments in the area, treating more than 64,000 patients annually. Our resident driven clinic sees several hundred patient contacts annually with a diverse scope of pathology and ample practice management experience. Surgical volume also far exceeds CPME volume and diversity requirements. All of this provides our residents with the foundation necessary to become qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery upon completion of the program. Our goal is to produce competent, capable and mature podiatric surgeons who enter the workforce far ahead of their peers. McLaren Health is dedicated to residency education that produces practitioners who will serve their communities at the forefront of safe, efficient and evolving practice of medicine..

Applications to the McLaren Macomb Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency program must use the CASPR/CRIP program. The Central Application Service for Podiatric Residencies (CASPR) is a national, centralized application processing and computerized matching service for the placement of podiatric medical school graduates into podiatric medical and surgical residency programs.
Applicants must turn in all the required pieces:
You must pass the APMLE Parts I and II Written.
The Match
The CASPR Match Program is the final phase of the Central Application Service, in which podiatric residency positions are filled through a computerized matching program.
The match takes place after the weekend in which applicants interview using the centralized residency interview program.
Applicants who have not passed APMLE Part I and Part II (Written) and CSPE (if eligible) are withdrawn from CASPR and unable to participate in the Match. Applicants are given two opportunities to pass Part II (January and February, Written) and CSPE (August and February).
The basis for the CASPR match program is the comparison of priority selections by the applicants and the podiatric residency programs, recorded on the CASPRweb.org site. In the match, the confidential Ranking Forms (numerical rank orders) are the only determinants of offers and acceptances of residency spaces.
An applicant will be matched with the highest choice on his/her Ranking Form, provided that residency program also chose that applicant before having its spaces filled with applicants which it ranked higher. An applicant's chances for being selected by second or third choice programs are not diminished just because they are of a lower priority.
A residency program is never matched with an applicant whom it identifies as unacceptable. Only those applicants ranked by the program will have the potential of being matched to the program. The only reason a student may not be matched with a particular program is that the program assigned a higher rank to other applicants and matched all of their positions with them or the program did not rank you at all.
More detailed information on how the Match works will be available closer to the Match date.
Applicants for the podiatry residency program with interview using the CRIP. The Centralized Residency Interview Program (CRIP) is a centralized gathering of residency candidates and podiatric resident selection committees at one time and one place for the purpose of interviewing. CRIP saves time and money for both applicants and hospital programs. CRIP takes place in January in Frisco, TX.
