Dean's Chat - All Things Podiatric MedicineAuthor: Dr. Jeffrey Jensen
Welcome to Dean's Chat, where we go inside the world of podiatric medicine. I'm Dr. Jeffrey Jensen, the Dean of the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine, and this show will highlight the organizations, leaders, and voices in the podiatry profession. Join me each week for discussions on all things podiatry including clinical, academic, research, administrative, and even politics within our great field. We will cover many topics in podiatry, raise some questions, find some answers, dive deep into some challenges, and shine a positive light on Podiatric Medicine's inner workings...and hopefully, get you involved in the podiatry field! Dean's Chat includes conversations with leaders in the podiatric profession including Deans, Residency Directors, Faculty, Researchers, and Entrepreneurs. The conversations include podiatric medical students, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-year residents, and young practitioners. They convey the podiatry educational journey to students entering the field of podiatric medicine where they become physicians and surgeons treating the foot and ankle. So come along for the ride, follow us now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you enjoy your shows.

Tuesday, 11 November, 2025
In this episode of Dean's Chat, hosts Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey sit down with Dr. Samantha Williams! This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics! We explore the journey from student to surgeon—and how compassionate, evidence-based care transforms outcomes in the clinic and OR. Dr. Williams shares practical tips on residency readiness, communicating surgical risk/benefit, optimizing clinic flow, and leading multidisciplinary care for complex foot and ankle pathology. Whether you're a pre-health student, current podiatry student, resident, or practicing DPM, you'll leave with actionable insights on training, mentorship, and professional growth—plus candid advice on board prep, research, and balancing life in medicine. What you'll learn: • Residency and early-career lessons that actually matter • Patient communication frameworks that build trust and adherence • Surgical vs. conservative decision pathways (and how to explain them) • Clinic efficiency: scheduling blocks, documentation, and team roles • Career design: academic vs. private practice, leadership & outreach!
