Epic event in the history of Podiatric Medicine was recorded live to all to savor. Drs Weil, Gastwirth and Armstrong discussed the issue in the past, the steps towards the future and the passion and attitude we all have inside of us to excel. I trust each person who listens to this 75 minutes will be a better physician ready to make 2013 their best year ever.
