Outpatient vs. Inpatient Workup on Diabetic Foot Infections
by Marisse Lardizabal, DPM

Diabetic foot infections (DFI) are both challenging and common amongst all podiatrists. Treatment of DFI's require a level of comfort and training as well as resources available to clinicians. ABPM has traditionally been a great source of information for podiatrists which makes the board certification by ABPM paramount.  

Like many podiatrists, you may encounter these types of patients initially in the clinic/outpatient setting, where you can catch the potential signs and symptoms of a diabetic foot infection waiting to happen.
