I have been all over the AACPM website. Any idea on how to start a Podiatry residency program?

1. Have good training, a lot of cases, facilities willing to help and with other numerous good DPM attendings willing to participate at them.

^^ This is why fellowships are so popular now... easy to start, no regulations, and one group or even basically one guy can start them.

Any decent residency is the cooperation of many DPMs/groups and facility that supports the program in many ways. We have tons of bogus residencies that are basically just a small handful of docs, one non-teaching hospital, and that's about it.

By the standards we talk about here, my residency training was good/not great, but my director told me he was under pressure to double the number we accepted every year to sop up more GME funding. So don't worry about case volume if you want to start up any old program.
