About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're joined by a special guest, an expert in foot care solutions for seniors. Could you please introduce yourself? GUEST: Hello, I'm Dr. Jane Smith, a podiatrist with over 20 years of experience in senior foot care. I'm also the instructor for the Advanced Certificate in Foot Care Solutions for Seniors. HOST: That's impressive! So, what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: I've seen many healthcare professionals and caregivers struggle to manage foot conditions in the elderly, especially those with diabetes or ingrown toenails. I wanted to create a comprehensive course to address these issues. HOST: Interesting. Could you share some current trends in senior foot care? GUEST: Absolutely. There's a growing emphasis on preventive care, and telemedicine is becoming more popular, allowing seniors to receive foot care without leaving home. HOST: That's important, especially during the pandemic. Now, what are some challenges you've faced or observed in teaching this subject? GUEST: Many students find nail trimming techniques challenging, as improper techniques can lead to injuries. We spend a lot of time on hands-on practice to ensure students are comfortable and safe. HOST: That's crucial. Looking ahead, what do you think the future holds for this area of expertise? GUEST: I believe we'll see more technological advancements, like smart shoes and insoles that monitor foot health and prevent injuries. It's an exciting time for foot care solutions.
