This webcast will discuss Common Podiatric Conditions. Foot and ankle health is a critical aspect of our overall well-being. Without it, mobility and independence are decreased leading to a whole host of other medical maladies. Podiatric problems are also very common not only in primary care but in association with numerous other medical comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
