Listen "Ep.07 Saving Limbs, Scaling Impact: A Conversation with Alton Johnson, DPM"
Episode Synopsis
Host Felix Boecker, MD talks with Alton Johnson, DPM—University of Michigan podiatrist and newly elected president of the Save A Leg Save A Life Foundation—about his pathway into wound care, why formal fellowships and “force-multiplier” mentoring matter, and practical ways clinicians can spread skills across disciplines. They dig into why amputations still happen despite better technology—access gaps, the need for vascular workups (“time out before amputation”), and the importance of truly multidisciplinary care—then wrap with patient-facing tips on finding the right podiatrist (look for real clinical presence and board credentials).
