Biography
Early life and education
Rogers was born in Elgin, Illinois to George Robert and Madelynn Jean Rogers and moved to Gallatin, Missouri at a young age. He attended primary and secondary school in Gallatin. He was awarded the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange scholarship and spent his senior year in Uetersen, Germany.
Rogers attended Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri from 1996–2000. He graduated with a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) from Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine in 2004 where he was president of the student body. He completed a residency in foot surgery at Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center in New York, NY and then later a fellowship in limb salvage and research with David G. Armstrong at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, IL.
Des Moines
Following his fellowship, Rogers founded and directed the Amputation Prevention Center at Broadlawns Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa. While in Iowa, Rogers described the 6 steps to preventing amputations and published a reduction in major amputations by 72%.[5] Rogers won first place for outstanding research from the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) in 2007 for mesenchymal stem cell research on wounds[6] and 2009 for hi-tech wound measurement techniques.[7] He proposed simple measures to reduce costs of amputations in the healthcare system.[8]
Los Angeles, California
Rogers was recruited to Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Los Angeles in 2009 to co-create the Amputation Prevention Center. The Amputation Prevention Center is a trademark licensed to Paradigm Medical Management and now licensed to Sherman Oaks Hospital in Los Angeles. In December 2013, Rogers founded and now directs the Amputation Prevention Center at a newly renovated facility at Sherman Oaks Hospital. The APC is an inpatient and outpatient facility which greatly improves upon existing limb salvage and wound healing rates by using a team approach with the most modern tools and techniques.[2] Rogers served as co-director of the Global Diabetic Foot Conference (DFCon) from 2010 to 2013. In 2009, he became Chair of the Foot Care Council of the American Diabetes Association and his most noted accomplishment was the creation of consensus guidelines for the treatment of Charcot foot which took place at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France. The guidelines were jointly published in the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association[9] and Diabetes Care.[3] He received the Rising Star Award from the APMA in 2011 for outstanding national accomplishments. He has been named as one of "America's Most Influential Podiatrists" by Podiatry Management Magazine and in 2013 he received the Master's Award from the American Professional Wound Care Association.[10] He is an Assistant Professor of Podiatry at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California.
Rogers or his work has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal,[11] U.S. News & World Report,[12] the Washington Post,[13] CBS News,[14] and many medical specialty magazines. He has authored over 100 articles and book chapters.
Political endeavors
Rogers, a Democrat, ran for US Congress in California’s 25th district.[15] After giving incumbent Congressman Buck McKeon a strong challenge,[16] Rogers lost. Among speculation that Congressman Buck McKeon will retire in 2014,[17] Rogers announced his candidacy for the seat again[18] and was endorsed by the Los Angeles Times.[19] Two Republicans edged out Rogers in a top two primary for the run off in the June 2014 election
