In this episode of Smart Steps, host Gary Rothenberg, DPM, CDCES, CWS, Medical Director at Podimetrics, is joined by Alyson Myers, MD, Professor of Medicine, Associate Chair of Faculty Mentoring and Community Engagement, and Attending Endocrinologist at Montefiore Einstein. Together, they explore what it really takes to deliver team-based diabetes care.
Dr. Myers shares how Montefiore’s new multidisciplinary foot clinic came to life, the patients it serves, and why addressing social and mental health factors is just as important as wound care itself. She and Dr. Rothenberg discuss what “multidisciplinary” means in practice, how collaboration changes outcomes for people with diabetic foot complications, and the measures that matter most in tracking success.
This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who believes diabetes care can be more connected, more comprehensive, and more effective.
