Each year, in collaboration with Penn State University, Cleveland Clinic presents a one-day continuing education meeting for practitioners who treat patients with lower extremity complications of diabetes. The meeting is called Diabetic Foot Care: Concepts and Controversies and the venue alternates between the Intercontinental Hotel and Conference Center on the Cleveland Clinic main campus and a site on the East Coast. The meetings to date have been as follows:
2003 Intercontinental Hotel and Conference Center on the Cleveland Clinic Campus.
2004 Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia.
2005 Intercontinental Hotel and Conference Center on the Cleveland Clinic Campus.
The 2006 meeting will be held at an East Coast venue which will be announced soon on this site. For more details, contact Carolyn Jirousek at jirousc@ccf.org
