They will be able to perform appropriate evaluations of foot and ankle issues to initiate evidence-based treatment options, from an operative and non-operative perspective, and predict expected outcomes and treatments that will produce the best long-term results. Participants also will learn about new and emerging technologies for the treatment of common foot and ankle issues.
