Course Description

This comprehensive part 1 online course provides clinicians with a full-spectrum understanding of peripheral neuropathy, Charcot foot syndrome, and foot wounds in this evidence-based online continuing education course.

Participants will examine the underlying disease processes, risk factors, and clinical progression of these complex conditions, with an emphasis on the relationship between neuropathy, structural deformities, and wound development.
