Want to change the world…one step at a time?
The fellowship’s central aim is to train and develop future leaders in this field.
The Southwestern Academic Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA) at the University of Southern California is acknowledged as one of the top training programs in the world for people with interest in advanced clinical/academic leadership positions in limb salvage. The focus is on reconstructive foot and ankle surgical training, high-volume service management, and limb salvage techniques in a uniquely integrated “toe and flow” service model. Most candidates also create a hybrid of clinical and research foci.
Ideal candidates should possess an already strong clinical and academic background with a keen interest in academic development, inpatient and outpatient care, and research. We train and have trained fellows from a variety of medical, surgical, and research backgrounds over the last two and a half decades.
This fellowship was developed to meet the unique and varied health, education and research needs of the field of diabetic foot care. SALSA@USC provides care for patients throughout the Southland and the world, with regular out of state and international consultations. SALSA is one of the most dynamic and productive clinical/research teams in the world dedicated to the diabetic foot, wound healing, and limb salvage.
Graduates of our fellowship programs include many of the leading clinicians and researchers in the field, worldwide.
Applicants should forward a letter of intent (preferably via email) with their curriculum vitae to the attention of:
David G. Armstrong
