2025 DPC Summit Agenda

This two-hour, hands-on skills workshop equips participants with evidence-based, best-practice techniques for evaluating and managing common foot and ankle concerns in the clinical setting. Through demonstration and guided practice, learners will build practical proficiency and confidence performing core procedures, with attention to indications, safety, patient comfort, and post-procedure care.

Participants will leave with increased comfort in: callus paring and nail plate biopsy; toenail removal; ingrown toenail evaluation and management; and digital nerve block.

This hands-on workshop will explore best in class diagnostic and treatment techniques for a variety of dermatologic conditions and wounds. Participants will sharpen their dermatological diagnostic skills through dermoscopy practice and elevate your proficiency in subsequent skills such as excision and cryotherapy. Then delve into a dynamic demonstration and hands-on practice covering essential aspects such as wound debridement, biopsies, and mastery of dressing and compression techniques.
