Diabetic foot management training for doctors is a live online session by Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic, held on 22 August 2026 at 8 PM for a fee of ₹99. Dr. Ashutosh Shah teaches early diagnosis, wound assessment, infection control and limb salvage for MBBS doctors, GPs and surgeons.
Most diabetic feet are not lost in an operation theatre. They are lost in the four weeks before anyone looked closely at the wound. This post explains what structured diabetic foot management training for doctors covers, who it is built for, and how to join the "Be the Master in Diabetic Foot" session on 22 August 2026, at ₹99.
What is the Master Diabetic Foot Management Training Session?
It is a live, one evening online diabetic foot management training for doctors, presented by Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic and taught by Dr. Ashutosh Shah. The session takes a practising clinician from first look at a diabetic foot to a clear decision: treat, refer, or escalate for limb salvage.
The framing is deliberately simple. If you want to upgrade your clinical skills in diabetic foot care without blocking out weeks for a full diabetic foot ulcer management course, this is a low-risk starting point at ₹99.
- Session: Be the Master in Diabetic Foot
- Date: 22 August 2026
- Fee: ₹99 only
- Format: Live online, from anywhere in India
- Faculty: Dr. Ashutosh Shah, 22+ years in plastic, reconstructive and diabetic foot surgery
- Seats: Limited
Who should attend this diabetic foot management training for doctors?
This diabetic foot management training for doctors is built specifically for MBBS doctors, general practitioners, surgeons and medical professionals who see diabetic patients in routine practice. You do not need a surgical background to benefit from it.
It is a strong fit if you are:
- A family physician or GP whose diabetic patients present with calluses, blisters or a "small" non healing wound.
- A general surgeon or orthopaedic surgeon who wants a sharper referral and salvage threshold.
- A postgraduate trainee looking for practical diabetic wound care training for doctors that is case based rather than theoretical.
- A diabetologist or physician building a foot care protocol inside an existing clinic.
- A rural or semi urban practitioner who is often the only clinician a diabetic foot patient will see before amputation is discussed.
Nurses, podiatrists and wound care staff also benefit, though the clinical depth is pitched at doctors.
What does the session actually teach?
The curriculum follows the sequence you use in a real consultation room: look, assess, classify, control infection, decide. Four clinical blocks anchor the diabetic foot management training for doctors.
1. Early diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer
Early diagnosis of diabetic foot ulcer starts before there is an ulcer. A diabetic foot ulcer is a full thickness break in the skin below the ankle in a person with diabetes, and it is usually preceded by weeks of silent warning signs: loss of protective sensation, a callus over a pressure point, a hot spot, dry fissured skin, or a nail deformity.
The session covers bedside screening you can complete in under five minutes, including the 10 g monofilament test, vibration testing, pedal pulse examination and a simple risk stratification you can record in the file.
2. Diabetic foot wound assessment
A structured diabetic foot wound assessment answers four questions: how deep, how infected, how ischaemic, and how much pressure is on it. Depth is probed, not guessed. Probing to bone is a meaningful clinical sign, not a formality.
You will work through wound classification, when to suspect osteomyelitis, how to document wound size and tissue type consistently, and how offloading changes the healing trajectory of a plantar ulcer.
3. Diabetic foot infection control protocol
A practical diabetic foot infection control protocol separates colonisation from infection, grades severity, and sets a time limit on watchful waiting. Antibiotics do not drain an abscess, and swab results should not delay drainage of a spreading infection.
The session covers severity grading, specimen collection that actually guides therapy, empirical antibiotic logic, red flags for urgent surgical drainage, and the timing that decides whether a foot is saved or sacrificed. International guidance from the IWGDF diabetic foot guidelines underpins this block.
4. Limb salvage strategy
Limb salvage is a set of decisions, not a single operation. You will learn when debridement is enough, when vascular assessment must come first, when a minor amputation preserves function better than a delayed major one, and how diabetic foot surgery and reconstruction fit into the plan.
Why does diabetic foot management training for doctors change outcomes?
Because delay, not diabetes, is what costs limbs. In our clinics in Surat we routinely see patients whose first ulcer was managed for weeks with dressings alone, without a vascular assessment or a depth probe. By the time deep infection is obvious, the salvage window has narrowed considerably.
Clinical guidelines consistently link three things to better outcomes: earlier detection, structured wound assessment, and prompt infection control. Each of those is a learnable skill, which is exactly why diabetic wound care training for doctors is worth an evening of your time.
How does this compare with a longer diabetic foot ulcer management course?
This diabetic foot management training for doctors is an entry point, not a substitute for certification. The table below shows where it sits.
| Option | Time commitment | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Diabetic Foot Management Training Session (22 August 2026) | One evening, live online | ₹99 | Testing the waters, immediate practical upgrade |
| Online diabetic foot care course India, self paced modules | Weeks, flexible | Varies | Structured theory alongside a busy practice |
| Certificate or diabetic foot ulcer management course | Months | Higher | Formal credentialing and protocol building |
| Fellowship or observership | Weeks to months, in person | Highest | Hands on surgical and salvage exposure |
Doctors who want to continue after 22 August can move into the longer pathways offered through EDFC Academy, which include CME workshops, observerships and an online diabetic foot care course India wide.
