| PODIATRISTS IN THE NEWS | |
MI Podiatrist Does Not Recommend Barbie Challenge
In now viral clips of the Barbie movie, the film’s star Margot Robbie is seen stepping out of her shiny high heels and standing nearly tiptoe, maintaining the classic arched-foot look of a real-life Barbie doll. The clip has inspired TikTok users to make their own attempts at mimicking Robbie’s Barbie feet, dubbing it the “Barbie Feet Challenge.” While making a quick attempt at the trend is fairly safe, podiatrist Sari Priesand, DPM, advises against walking like a Barbie for too long.
 |
|
Dr. Sari Priesand |
“I think it’s okay to try this trend once to see if you can achieve it. But if you're repeatedly trying to do it or trying to walk in that way, it's just not natural,” Dr. Priesand said. “Doing this for extended periods of time can be dangerous and cause injuries.” Maintaining a Barbie-like foot stride for multiple steps or for too long can injure both the ankle and different parts of the feet in various ways, Priesand says.

| PODIATRISTS AND HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION | |
OH Podiatrist is Sponsor of Bipartisan Value-Based Care Bill
Healthcare organizations are lining up to support federal legislation that could create new incentives for physicians and healthcare organizations to adopt value-based care. Federal lawmakers introduced the Value in Health Care Act of 2023 and a number of physician and medical groups quickly announced their endorsements.
 |
|
Dr. Brad Wenstrup |
The legislation “would make commonsense changes to Medicare’s Alternative Payment Models (APMs) program to incentivize greater participation in value-based health programs.” It would help increase participation in accountable care organizations (ACOs) that are designed to improve quality of care and health outcomes for seniors, while lower costs, said an announcement from Representative Suzan DelBene (D-OR), a co-sponsor of the bill. Additional sponsors are Representatives Darin LaHood (R- IL), Kim Schrier, MD, (D-WA), Brad Wenstrup, DPM (R- OH), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), and Larry Bucshon, MD (R- IN).

Local Marketing Tips for Small Practices
Facebook? Radio ads? Local SEO? Billboards? Email? There’re so many options when it comes to marketing your small medical practice that it can be hard to know where to begin. With research confirming that 98% of consumers went online to research local businesses in 2022, focusing on activities that make it easier for potential patients to find you on the internet is the most logical place to start. Here are some tips for small practices.
Tip 1: Claim your free Google Business Profile and optimize your listing.
If you’re new to Google Business Profile, it’s a free business listing that enables you to share key information about your practice with Google and your local community. Google uses the information you provide to populate its search results and Maps, making it a powerful tool for any local business seeking to raise its profile. After creating your Google Business Profile, head to Bing, Here you’ll find Bing Places For Business, which is another listing and do the same.

From: Bryce Karulak, DPM
Unfortunately, I believe the answer is quite simple. We are a profession of approximately 18,000 and there are approximately 355,000 nurse practitioners. We simply do not have the money nor the numbers to push our scope beyond wherever our respective state scopes allow us to practice.
