Advancing Podiatry & Mitigating Crisis in Healthcare
After a year away, CPMA welcomes you to reconnect with fellow podiatrists and vendors while learning about the latest in the field of podiatry and healthcare at large. In addition to covering topics like postoperative infection management, diabetic amputation prevention, and crucial Medicare updates, we’ll look at some of the most pressing issues facing all medical professionals today. How do we prevent physician suicide? How do we handle active shooter situations in healthcare facilities? How can we combat opioid addiction among patients?
