"This handbook is written as an aid for podiatry assistants. In its design, consideration has been given to those assistants who are the sole employee in their podiatrist's office as well as to those who are employed in a multiple assistant office. Consideration will be given to technical and hygientic duties as well as humanistic and philosophical communications with podiatry clientele. The prime purpose of this handbook is not to serve as an indisputable textbook for podiatry assistantship, but rather it preposes to serve as a reference to stimulate and improve the functions of the helpmates of the practicing podiatrist"--Preface.
