New York, NY – February 19, 2009 – On Thursday, February 19th, a sizable audience of students and faculty members at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine gathered in the College’s largest lecture hall to participate in the first-ever video tele-conferencing lecture to a school of podiatric medicine by David Armstrong, DPM, PhD. (photo above) The video conference was presented by the NYCPM Pi Delta Honor Society, Gamma Chapter, as part of its ongoing lecture series, and spearheaded by Khurram Khan, DPM, who is the Pi Delta faculty advisor and Assistant Professor in the department of Medicine at NYCPM, and by Albert Samandarov, NYCPM Pi Delta Honor Society chapter President. 

  

The title of Dr. Armstrong’s lecture was “Diabetic Limb Salvage: A Combination of Team, Technology and Tenacity.”  Dr. Armstrong, who is Professor of Surgery at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, and Director of the University’s Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance (SALSA), discussed how the “toe and flow” team approach can help reduce amputation rates, and also talked about some of the new and exciting techniques coming up in the near future regarding the diabetic foot. 

 

The audience at NYCPM watched Dr. Armstrong on five large screens, including four new, large, overhead high-definition monitors in the recently-renovated lecture hall.  Following the lecture, the audience engaged in a spirited question-and-answer session with Dr. Armstrong.
