Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Despite recent improvements in patient access to medical care in the U.S., diabetic foot ulcers continue to be a prevalent health problem. Understanding the pathophysiology of diabetic ulcers enhances screening and prevention skills and assessment of current wounds. Treatment requires the participation of a multidisciplinary healthcare team to ensure appropriate wound care, monitoring, and ongoing reassessment to prevent recurrence. The goal of this course is to provide information regarding the development, prevention, and care of diabetic foot ulcers.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the underlying pathophysiology of diabetic foot ulcers, including risk factors and preventive strategies.
  • Describe the elements of a physical examination crucial for identifying patients at risk for diabetic foot ulcers.
  • Recall treatment strategies, including wound care techniques and the role of the interdisciplinary healthcare team in managing diabetic foot ulcers.
