Does Training Residents Cost Our Attendings Too Much?
Working with residents is a rewarding experience that most of us would not want to trade for anything. The idea of mentoring the next generation of podiatric physicians is fulfilling and generates lifelong friendships.
Gary Jolly, DPM, FACFAS, is still my mentor and friend. I will always carry with me his reassuring words, “Kath, there is nothing that you could break that I cannot fix so go ahead and start the surgery. You have to learn and I am here to teach you.”
Getting More Out Of A Conference Than Free Pens
Some folks see attending a medical conference as an opportunity to have fun and catch up with old friends. For others, the medical conference represents an opportunity to get ahead, meet possible mentors and address some business issues. That is a whole different ballgame. For the same amount of money you spend to go to a conference, you can have an entirely different experience.
Some people pack their toothbrush to go to a conference. Other people pack extra business cards, legal pads and letters of introduction. Which person are you?
If DPMs Are Ignored By MDs, Is It Their Fault Or Ours?
I was at an educational dinner recently and I realized I was the only podiatrist in a room of vascular, general surgery and plastic surgeons. Afterward, I spoke privately with the lecturer, a well known vascular surgeon, from the Northwest who has educated many podiatry residents and fellows over the years. We have been on several programs together over the years and I felt comfortable talking frankly with him.
Patient Education Resources In the Office: Why They Benefit You And The Patient
You glance at the chart, the clock and the smiling patient. You are right on schedule. Now that is refreshing for a change. You extend your hand to say goodbye and tell the patient you will see her again in two weeks. She can call the office if she has any questions.
Pilates: A New Referral Consideration?
Lately, I have heard about Pilates quite a bit and have noticed that it is even drawing attention on the National Institute of Health’s PubMed with several dozen references within the past couple of years.
It has gone from being an unusual offering at strip malls to being featured in leading medical journals. This is quite a leap in a very short period of time. That march forward is being led by some of the leaders in our own profession. One of those at the forefront is Sheryl Strich, DPM, who is the President of the American Association for Women Podiatrists.
Could Recent Discoveries In Research Eventually Lead To Genetic Therapy For Clubfoot?
Soon there will be a time when the next generation of cutting-edge podiatrists trained in rearfoot surgery will see children with clubfoot being treated non-surgically. I am not talking about those patients who are amenable to treatment via serial casting. I am talking about the bad boy deformities that require tendon releases and opening of joint capsules for repositioning.
It was a previously unheard of thought — treatment science fiction really. However, researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis recently discovered a mutation in the gene responsible fo
