Enhancing Multidisciplinary Care for Lower Extremity Wounds

May 23, 2025

In this video, Dr. Asem Saleh discusses the critical need for a unified approach to managing lower extremity wounds, particularly in patients with diabetes. He highlights alarming statistics, such as the fact that 20% of diabetic patients will develop foot ulcers, with nearly 50% leading to amputations.

Additionally, Dr. Saleh emphasizes the importance of communication among healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes and propose a six-month curriculum to address these issues. We encourage everyone to engage in this initiative and share their insights.
