Dr. Korzendorfer’s scholarship centers on comprehensive wound management and population health challenges, including diabetic foot complications and peripheral artery disease. Her work spans diagnosis, examination, treatment strategies, health literacy, and the measurement of meaningful wound endpoints, with a strong emphasis on educating both providers and patients. She also investigates high-impact educational practices that enhance learning outcomes for health professional students.
