Please note: The California Podiatric Medical Association and the Western Foot and Ankle Conference are aware of the new fluoroscopy CECH requirement for x-ray license renewal and are working toward developing a means of providing continuing education for this in the future. The radiology CECH provided at The 2016 Western do not apply toward fluoroscopy.

CE POLICYIn accordance with the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) and the Board of Podiatric Medicine (BPM), The Western is required to monitor educational session attendance for continuing education (CE) verification.

Attendees will be sent transcripts reflecting only the number of Continuing Education Contact Hours earned by scanning for general sessions and/or attending workshops. To receive the maximum number of CECH, DPMs must have their badges scanned at each of the posted scanning times. Attendees who are registered for workshops or courses outside of general sessions or who miss scanning times will have their total CECH adjusted accordingly.

If you did not provide an email address with your registration, please send it to [email protected]. Each registrant is responsible for reporting attendance to all appropriate licensing boards and agencies requiring continuing education.

BIOMECHANICSLearners will be able to review the evolution of clinical biomechanics and what future developments we can expect, differentiate plaster and digital casting for orthotics for clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness, and understand the biomechanics of forefoot and rearfoot specific conditions through clinical exam findings.

MANAGING INJURIES AND THE ATHLETELearners will be able to understand the diagnosis and prognosis of forefoot and rearfoot pathology in the athlete, apply the potential treatment options and associated outcomes to maximize clinical results and return to activity, differentiate the appropriate diagnostic evaluation and treatments between pediatric and adult athletes, learn to assess the psychological aspects of managing runners, and understand how athletic shoes apply to various sports activities and differences amongst individuals.

EVIDENCE BASED USE OF AMNIOTIC PRODUCTS SYMPOSIUMLearners will be given the opportunity to appreciate the potential uses of amniotic tissues for dermatological and musculoskeletal pathology, review the science of wound healing and the advantages of amniotic tissue in healing chronic wounds, and learn how amniotic tissue benefits orthopedic reconstruction and the treatment of chronic foot and ankle pathology.

CURRENT CONCEPTS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF PERIPHERAL NERVE PROBLEMS IN LOWER EXTREMITYLearners will be able to understand diagnostic principles of peripheral nerve problems and appreciate the latest treatment options for peripheral nerves.

APMA REGIONAL LECTURE SERIES: INTERESTING CASE STUDIES IN DERMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONSThis presentation will highlight new and various interesting dermatological conditions as they might manifest in the skin of the lower extremity. Learners will gain a better appreciation for the wide array of skin disease that can present in the skin of the foot, and the unconventional presentation that they may have when manifesting in this location. The ideal biopsy technique and subsequent management of the various conditions will be discussed.

APMA REGIONAL LECTURE SERIES: UPDATE ON DERMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS: TREATMENT ADVANCESLearners will be able to discuss the diagnosis and management of inflammatory skin disorders and the various topical steroidal and non-steroidal options to treat these conditions.

CHANGING HOW WE THINK ABOUT FOREFOOT SURGERYLearners will have the opportunity to review typical diagnostic approaches and common treatments for challenging forefoot pathology, review the evidence-based medicine approach to plantar plate repair, recognize and appreciate the compromises made when performing bunion surgery to account for patient goals and patient centered care, and understand why our current thinking about bunions is wrong and what to do about it.

CONTROVERSIES AND COMPLICATIONSLearners will be able to review the evidence-based medicine supporting the management of acute Lisfranc injuries and understand the advantages to primary reduction, primary arthrodesis, and the role of early weight bearing. They will also be able to apply the AO principles to proper indications for early post-operative weight bearing, learn the principles of minimal incision surgery for calcaneal fractures and the associated indications for using this approach, gain insight into errors of experienced foot and ankle surgeons and how to best manage the outcomes, and learn how to best deal with patients in the face of a poor result.

CONFERENCE GUIDE 11

ALPHA HYDROXY ACID TECHNOLOGY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF HYPERKERATOTIC SKIN CONDITIONSLearners will learn the therapeutic basis behind Alpha-Hydroxy Acid to manage hyperkeratotic lesions and the clinical outcomes and efficacy of Alpha-Hydroxy Acid treatment.

DOCTOR-PATIENT COMMUNICATION: IMPROVING PATIENT AND PHYSICIAN SATISFACTIONLearners will be able to identify communication issues within the doctor-patient relationship contributing to malpractice litigation. They will also be able to discuss the mutual value of improving the doctor-patient relationship/communication, describe common barriers to effective communication following an adverse clinical event, and highlight important considerations to preserving or restoring the doctor-patient relationship when discussing adverse events or delivering bad news to patients or families.

CONCEPTS IN FLATFOOT CORRECTIONLearners will learn how to approach the flatfoot to best care for the patient, understand when to combine medial and lateral column arthrodesis to maximize clinical outcomes, understand the longevity of soft tissue procedures and determine when they are most indicated, and appreciate the complexity of multiple rearfoot arthrodesis procedures and the benefit behind it.

MEDICINE FOR THE PODIATRIC SURGEONLearners will be able to understand pre-operative management of the diabetic patient, review anti-coagulation protocols to prevent and treat peripheral vascular thrombotic events, appreciate post-operative pain and chronic pain along with the various tools to managing it, review the latest information in antibiotics and the guidelines to peri-operative prophylaxis and the nutritional factors that affect healing, as well as understand the impact of behavioral health on health outcomes and the healthcare system.

WOUND CARELearners will receive a review of the science behind wound healing and the concepts of limb salvage and learn how to predict success and failure. They will be able to understand the benefit of debridement and when it can help optimize outcomes, appreciate the role of endovascular procedures in the ischemic limb, understand the longevity of soft tissue procedures and determine when they are most indicated. Learners will also be able to appreciate the complexity of multiple rearfoot arthrodesis procedures and the benefit behind it. They will learn about the evidence supporting advanced wound therapy and to differentiate osteomyelitis and Charcot foot. Learners will receive a review of the rationale behind the diabetic shoe program and how to implement a shoe program.
