Biography

Dr. Amanda Killeen is a board-certified Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at UT Health RGV.

Dr. Killeen earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree at the Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine. She completed her residency in podiatric medicine and surgery at the Department of Veterans Affairs Southern Arizona Healthcare System and completed advanced training in diabetic limb salvage through clinical and research fellowships at the University of Texas Southwestern.

Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and the American Board of Wound Management, Dr. Killeen is also a fellow of the American College of Podiatric Medicine. She is a member of several professional societies, including the Diabetic Foot Study Group and the American Diabetes Association, where she is the current chair of Foot Care and Lower Extremity Complication for the Scientific Sessions.

A prolific researcher, presenter, and author, Dr. Killeen’s academic and clinical interests focus on diabetic foot problems, including chronic wounds, recurrent soft tissue infections, and osteomyelitis. Her current interests include differentiation of recurrent versus new infection, translation of porcine models of wound healing into humans, host-microbiome interaction, and stimulation of angiogenesis with oxygen. She has published several articles in peer-reviewed journals related to her areas of expertise. Her recent publications include a chapter contribution to Rutherford’s Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy. She serves as an ad hoc reviewer for journals including Advances in Skin and Wound Care, Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association, and Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

In 2022, Dr. Killeen received the American Podiatric Medical Association’s Wound Care Podiatrist Scholarship, which is awarded annually to one podiatrist whose work focuses on patient care and improved outcomes for wound patients. Later that year, she was also inducted into the Faculty of Podiatric Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons Glasgow.
