PGY1 Playbook Foot and Ankle

Your intern year on foot and ankle is judged less on operative skill than on whether you are prepared, reliable, and easy to trust. The PGY1 Foot & Ankle Playbook lays out exactly what that looks like day to day — from how you set up a room to what you should have reviewed before you walk into clinic.

What's inside

• Clinic and surgical preparation standards — what to review before every case
• OR room setup, patient positioning, and the fundamentals that earn you a second case
• Splinting and closure standards
• Anatomy and early foot and ankle exposure expectations
• A PGY1 self-assessment scored against the Trust Score framework

Who it's for

PGY1 residents rotating on foot and ankle, and medical students who want to know what will be expected of them next year.

Where it fits

This is year one of a five-year pathway. Start with The Strasser Standard for the underlying framework, then work through the playbook matched to your current training level.
