The future of professional medical and surgical residency education is

one that is on the mind of all physicians and surgeons today. The

increasing amount of information that requires dissemination and the

need for standardization is often at odds with different models and

programmatic cultures. How to standardize and how to improve? To that

end, we will discuss this with one of the leading thinkers in this

area today, John Steinberg.

Dr. Steinberg  is a Podiatric Surgeon and is Assistant Professor in

the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Georgetown

University School of Medicine. His career has been a stellar one, from

his early work at the University of Texas through to his current work

in Georgetown, it has been punctuated by advances in Education. He is

presently Editor of PRESENTS, a podiatric foot and ankle education

program that has standardized didactics at more than 100 residency

training programs, nationwide.
