Statement of Need: 
Orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, as well as the team of clinicians involved throughout the patient continuum of care, are now presented with a multitude of new surgical and non-surgical options that are taken into consideration when providing treatment for orthopedic and musculoskeletal patient populations. Due to a lack of knowledge surrounding these new innovations within the field of orthopedics, as well as minimal evidence-based outcomes research, caregivers are now finding themselves having to make difficult decisions when treating a patient and developing his/her plan of care, often evoking peer-to-peer controversy. This educational activity is designed to change how a clinician will consider a patient's plan of care after recognizing the potential positive and negative impacts posed by the variety of clinical interventions, both in the orthopedic continuum & rehabilitation continuum of care in order to achieve the best possible patient outcomes.
Target Audience:
This program is designed for MDs, PAs, PTs, and ATCs. Other members of the healthcare team including NPs, RNs, Fellows, Residents and Medical and Physical Therapy Students are invited to attend.
