Chicago, IL - November 13th, 2023

In a groundbreaking initiative, the American College of Podiatric Physicians and Surgeons (ACPPS) hosted its first-ever cadaver lab this past weekend in Chicago, providing podiatric physicians with a unique and invaluable learning experience. The event received resounding praise from participants, who had the opportunity for hands-on exploration and personalized instruction.

The cadaver lab, held at Advanced Ambulatory Surgical Center in Chicago, marked a milestone in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) education. Each participating physician had the privilege of working with their own cadaver, allowing for an unparalleled level of engagement and a deeper understanding of podiatric anatomy.

Dr. Miltchin, expressed enthusiasm about the success of the event. "The cadaver lab provided an exceptional platform for our podiatric physicians to enhance their skills and knowledge with MIS. The one-on-one teaching approach allowed for a tailored educational experience, fostering a deeper appreciation for anatomical structures and MIS techniques."

Participants engaged in a series of interactive sessions, gaining hands-on experience under the guidance of experienced ACPPS instructors. The lab facilitated an open exchange of ideas, furthering collaboration and networking within the podiatric community.

Feedback from attendees highlighted the positive impact of the cadaver lab on their professional development and confidence in implementing MSI in their practice.

The success of the inaugural cadaver lab underscores the commitment of ACPPS to advancing the field of podiatric medicine through innovative and hands-on educational opportunities. Plans are already underway for future events and expansions to accommodate growing interest.
