Thursday April 23 12:00 – 5:00 pm

Podiatry Business and Marketing Crash Course - Tyson Franklin

Running a successful podiatry or chiropody clinic isn’t about working longer hours or chasing the latest marketing trend. It’s about clarity, structure, and making smarter business decisions that support both your patients and your professional life.

In this fast-paced, half-day Podiatry Business and Marketing Crash Course, Tyson E. Franklin, podiatrist, business mentor, author of It’s No Secret… There’s Money in Podiatry, and host of the Podiatry Legends Podcast, will guide you through the core principles that underpin high-performing clinics.

This workshop is designed to help you step back from day-to-day clinical busyness and look at your practice through a more strategic lens. Whether you’re a clinic owner, associate, or planning your next career move, the session focuses on practical ideas you can apply immediately, without overwhelm or jargon.

Topics covered include:
1. The Thriving Podiatry Business Model
2. Goal Setting the right way for you and your team
3. Building simple systems and processes that your team will use
4. Improving patient communication, trust, and follow-through
5. Strengthening recall, reactivation, and referral pathways
6. Pricing and value: how to charge what you’re worth with confidence
7. Using marketing to educate patients rather than “selling” to them
8. Identifying Incomplete Treatment and where clinics commonly lose time, money, and momentum (and how to fix it)
9. Using AI effectively in your marketing and patient communications
10. Becoming an employer of choice, not chance.

Attendees will leave with clear, actionable insights they can implement straight away, along with a better understanding of how business, marketing, and clinical excellence work together.
This session is ideal for chiropodists and podiatrists who want more control, more consistency, and a more sustainable practice, without adding unnecessary stress.

From Surface to Subungual: A Practical Dermoscopy for Toenail Disorders - Dr. Kendall Billick

This immersive pre conference workshop introduces attendees to practical dermoscopy skills using the DE 400 dermatoscope—a versatile, polarized and non polarized device ideal for clinical skin assessment. Participants will learn core dermoscopic principles, image interpretation basics, and how to integrate dermoscopy into routine chiropody practice for improved lesion monitoring and early detection.

Each attendee will train with the same DE 400 model used in the session, ensuring confidence and familiarity with its features, including dual mode lighting, 10× magnification, and universal smartphone/tablet compatibility.

A limited number of units will be available for purchase at a significantly reduced price, allowing clinicians to leave fully equipped to implement dermoscopy in their offices the following week. See details below.

 

Thursday April 23 – 6:00 – 9:00 pm

iBooLo DE‑400 Smartphone Dermatoscope

High‑clarity dermoscopy designed for foot and ankle clinicians

The iBooLo DE‑400 is a high‑quality, smartphone‑compatible dermatoscope that brings advanced dermoscopic imaging directly into podiatry practice. Its bright, polarized illumination and crisp magnification make it an invaluable tool for assessing lower‑extremity skin and nail conditions with greater accuracy and confidence.

• Vascular and inflammatory changes in high‑risk patients
• Dermatologic manifestations in diabetic foot care

This clarity supports earlier detection, improved documentation, and stronger referral pathways.

• High‑resolution optical lens (up to 400× magnification) for detailed visualization of lesion borders, pigment networks, and nail matrix changes.
• Polarized and non‑polarized LED lighting to reduce glare on plantar surfaces and enhance structural detail.
• Universal smartphone compatibility for seamless image capture and integration into clinical workflows.
• Rechargeable, bright LED illumination for consistent lighting in any setting.
• Lightweight, durable, and easy to disinfect, ideal for busy clinics and mobile foot care.
