can transform the way you deliver residency education!
Congratulations,
1st year residents ! You made it to Week 2. To
you 2nd and 3rd year residents...well, you're
veterans already and are just dealing with the
reality of the Summer being over and your next
residency year looming ahead.
This is a great time for 1st year residents to
introduce yourselves to everyone that you meet
at the hospital. This is to be your community
for the next few years. It's a rich community
for learning, if you take advantage of it. Ask
the people that you meet what they do, who they
work with. You can learn an incredible amount
about patient care from nurses, radiology techs,
physical therapists...not mention attending
physicians. You're in a teaching
institution...don't be shy about asking a lot of
questions. People who are proud of their work
can't resist telling you all about what they do
and the special innovations that they've added
to their work. You'll be relying on these people
during your residency years, and they on you.
Make friends with them...you'll be glad that you
did.
Week 2 is a good time to start compiling your
Contact List, your list of contact phone numbers
and email addresses. You may have already been
given it by an especially organized Chief
Resident or Residency Director. You'll be
expected to have certain information like this
at your finger tips, so whether you use a PDA
(Palm Pilot, Treo 600 phone or Pocket PC), or a
good old fashioned pocket notebook, start
filling it up with the information that you'll
need.
I'd love to hear from the veteran residents out
there (you know who you are) about what YOU keep
in your PDA or Pocket Notebook. Come on, give a
helping hand to those 1st year guys and gals
just starting out ! We need this spirit of
mentorship, of the older folks helping the
young, in podiatry.

Dr. Bakotic
speaks about the most common benign tumors of the small
bones of the feet. Using his published experiences at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a template for the
discussion, he notes important trends with regard to
frequency of occurrence, treatment, and prognosis when these
tumors arise in the feet. Pertinent epidemiologic data,
radiographic features, and histopathologic and genetic
findings are additionally reviewed. Taking a new approach,
Dr. Bakotic points out the contrasting clinicopathologic
data that relates to benign tumors of the bones of the feet
as opposed to similar tumors arising elsewhere in the
skeletal system.

Dr. Donohue discusses the role of bacteria in the
development of the non-healing, chronic wound. The
presentation begins with a review of current concepts of
wound healing, specifically, the stages of wound healing,
angiogenesis, principles of limb preservation and a
diagnostic and treatment algorithm. With this information as
background , the impact of bacteria on wound healing is
explained along with other related concepts including the
bacterial "continuum", critical colonization, bacterial
toxins and finally, methods for controlling the destructive
effects of bacteria on the healing wound.
