I have just finished a jam-packed educational weekend in downtown Bellevue for members of the Washington State Podiatric Medical Association (WSPMA). It’s a great opportunity for physicians to stay current on new procedures or treatments for foot and ankle problems through lectures and interactive workshops. I always look forward to learning new ideas to improve patient care. Annual meetings such as these also let podiatrists interact with vendors of specialty shoes, orthotics, new wound care treatments, and many other products we use daily.
