Message from the 2017 Conference Chairs

As your primary care foot specialists representatives in the province, we have been very busy preparing a

comprehensive and world class program, encompassing many areas of Podiatric Medicine.

One of the OSC mandates, include provision of continuing education. Our goal is to provide the highest pro-

fessional standards to further the profession through educational development. The speakers we have gath-

ered include doctors who have lectured across the globe and are respected leaders in the industry. Our 2017

conference schedule includes Dr. Kevin Kirby, Dr. Louis DeCaro, Dr. Stephanie Wu, and Dr. Clifton Bradeley.

The areas of focus we will be presented include biomechanics, pod-pediatrics, the diabetic foot, wound

care, practice management, health and safety and human resources.

We hope you enjoy the conference and are able to take the knowledge you gain and incorporate it into the

highest quality practice skills and patient care possible.

resistance test, the maximum pronation test and the medial heel skive and lateral

heel skive orthosis techniques. He has also created and developed the Subtalar

Joint Axis Location and Rotational Equilibrium Theory of Foot Function and has co-developed the Subtalar
