In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Savannah Santiago, a third-year podiatric surgical resident and chief resident at Ascension St. Vincent’s in Indianapolis. She is completing her training under Dr Patrick DeHeer, and her enthusiasm for the profession is something I...

David Allcock’s route into podiatry involved the British Army, ambulance work, overseas travel and a friend who decided to take matters into his own hands. Originally from Liverpool, David now owns Klinetic Podiatry in Nova Scotia, Canada. In this episode, we explore...
