On demand video will be available to subscribers immediately following each day of the event for re-watching at anytime.

    EVENT DESCRIPTION
    Georgetown University Hospital’s Team Approach to Diabetic Limb Salvage conference is intended to better equip each member of the health care team with the education and resources needed to heal wounds and prevent amputations.

    It features a prominent multidisciplinary faculty that promotes the importance of every member of the team. The course is designed for health care practitioners of all specialties and promotes an evidence-based approach.

    The meeting format will include didactic lectures, specialty symposia, and live surgical case demonstrations for the purpose of providing a live interactive learning experience

    ▲ discuss the options in vascular interventional technology and techniques, both surgical and endovascular
    ▲ discuss the complexities of biomechanics, limb salvage, the problem wound, wound based infection, preserving limb length
    ▲ cite the financial and social impact of diabetic limb salvage and amputation
    ▲ integrate into their practices the knowledge obtained through the didactic lectures, workshops and live surgical cases.

    EVENT ACCREDITATION
    Fully accredited online for Australian, NZ and U.S. Podiatrists, and U.S. Medical Personnel who can claim the full amount of CME points as if they were attending in person. Please check with your relevant registration bodies for further details in other countries.

    harmonknee Welcome New Poster

    Hi, I have signed up and watched some free videos and was wondering if this is what the live conferences look like? Also is diabetic limb salvage accredited for UK podiatrists?

    Hi harmonknee,

    The video live streaming of limb salvage (or any conference for that fact) is pretty much the same as the on demand video with a few exceptions. Quality can be improved to high definition, there is the ability to interact with the conference, the lectures are placed onto PORTAL in PDF so you can print or view them yourself and the video is able to be re-watched at anytime if you miss something or wish to view it again.

    PORTAL also developed advanced digital tracking technology which records and stores your digital attendance of an event. This can be used for claiming CME/CPE points, proof of attendance or simply to track your own progress.

    Limb Salvage is fully accredited for US, Aus and NZ Podiatrists - you would have to check with your relevant registration body as to whether you could claim this in the UK.

    Hope this answers your questions - if you require anymore assistance please feel free to email us at support@portaleducation.com at anytime.

    Kindest Regards,

    PORTAL Support
