RE: Residency CONCLAVE Cancelled
From Bret Ribotsky, DPM
Organized podiatry will not participate in the CONCLAVE (Collaborative-Organized-Need-to-Combat-Lack-in-Advanced-Education) that I suggested in early August to deal with the residency crisis. I received a letter signed by Robert Yoho, DPM, AACPM Chairman; Jeffrey Robbins, DPM, COTH Chairman; Gregg Young, DPM, Balance Committee Chair; James Stavosky, DPM, ABPM President; Randall Dei, DPM, ABPS President; Kathleen Satterfield, DPM, ACFAOM President; Jordan Grossman, DPM, ACFAS President; Matthew Garoufalis, DPM, APMA President; Stephen Schmid, DPM, APMA-Young Physicians; Kyle Duncan, APMSA President; David Yeager, DPM, ASPS Chair; and Timothy Ford, CPM CPME Chair.
Without the stakeholders participating, creating an implementable plan is a long shot. Thus, I am cancelling the conclave scheduled. I look forward to other suggestions.
