Creating Good Habits, Breaking Bad Ones

We all know that habits are hard to break. As an educator, I spend a lot of time trying to prevent trainees from building bad habits at the start, since once they create those habits, it’s going to be very difficult to change. I’ve often felt that there is a sort of organic, uncontrolled quality to the creation of human habits.

The Power of Collaboration

In many cases, podiatry is like a farm with different silos separating the various parts from each other. We have nine podiatry schools that are variably siloed from each other, competing to fill their classes. We have more than 200 residencies competing for the best residents they can get. Many podiatrists compete for business out in the community.
