Target Audience

This educational activity is designed for physicians, podiatrists, surgeons, advanced practice providers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diabetic foot complications. The content is also relevant to clinicians working in wound care, vascular surgery, endocrinology, infectious disease, orthopedics, and primary care who seek to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes-related lower-extremity conditions.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this enduring activity, participants will be able to:

  • Checkmark

    Examine Global and Historical Advances in Limb Preservation Participants will be able to describe the evolution of limb preservation over the past 25 years—benchmarking global successes such as Malta’s national transformation—while recognizing the interdisciplinary foundations of DFCon and the emergence of limb preservation as a specialty.

  • Checkmark

    Integrate Multidisciplinary Approaches to Improve Vascular, Wound, and Surgical Outcomes Participants will evaluate current best practices in vascular intervention, podiatric surgery, infectious disease management, and advanced practice provider roles to strengthen cross-team clinical strategies for reducing amputations.

  • Checkmark

    Assess Innovations in Technology, Medical Therapies, and Biomaterials for DFU and CLTI Care Participants will analyze cutting-edge advancements including AI-enabled foot assessment, vascular sensors, behavioral health integration, GLP1 therapies, sensory substitution technologies, cellular/matrix therapies, and next-generation prosthetics to enhance patient-centered care.

  • Checkmark

    Apply Evidence-Based Techniques in Wound Classification, Healing Prediction, and Risk Stratification Participants will learn to utilize updated frameworks such as WIFI and TEWL-based risk models, improve antibiotic stewardship and osteomyelitis management, and implement registry/quality measures to optimize DFU remission and long-term outcomes.

  • Checkmark

    Strengthen Systems-Based Practice for High-Risk and “No-Option” Patients. Participants will be able to develop strategies for care transitions, caregiver engagement, addressing homelessness in wound care, incorporating wound hospice concepts, and designing programs that expand limb preservation beyond hospital walls—reflecting the full continuum of high-risk patient needs.
