How does your practice setting influence malpractice risk in podiatry? In this episode of the Podiatry Today Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Spector speaks with Dr. David Schweibish about how liability exposure can vary across private practice, hospital-employed roles, multispecialty groups, and outpatient or ASC environments.

Dr. Schweibish shares practical insights into the real drivers of malpractice claims, including documentation gaps, informed consent, communication breakdowns, patient non-compliance, and system-level risk management challenges. He also discusses how institutional protocols, peer review systems, and interdisciplinary communication can help mitigate liability while still preserving independent clinical judgment.

Regardless of practice setting, this conversation offers actionable guidance for reducing risk and strengthening patient care documentation.

Presented in partnership with the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).
