| Kristine Hoffman D.P.M. |
Dr. Hoffman completed her medical studies at Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in North Chicago, Illinois. She graduated with her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Degree in the spring of 2007. Dr. Hoffman completed her degree with Honors and received both the Proficiency in Scholarship Award and Proficiency in Podiatric Medicine Award from the college. While at Scholl College, Dr. Hoffman conducted research examining the use of cytokine gene therapy on the treatment of diabetic wounds. With this joint research project between the Rosalind Franklin University Diabetes Center and the Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research, Dr. Hoffman was the first podiatric medical student to receive the American Diabetes Association’s Medical Scholar Award, which provided $30,000 of funding for her research and studies. Following podiatric medical school, Dr. Hoffman returned to Colorado where she completed the three-year Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency based out of North Colorado Medical Center in Greeley. In this residency program she trained in forefoot, rearfoot and ankle reconstructive surgery; trauma; wound care and limb salvage surgery; sports medicine; pediatrics and arthroscopy. During Dr. Hoffman’s residency training, she also traveled to Mexico for the Yucatan Crippled Children’s Project and Port au Prince, Haiti to provide medical care following the 2010 earthquake. Dr. Hoffman is an avid rock climber, trail runner, cyclist and skier. In her free time she enjoys spending time in the mountains with her husband and border collie.
