Florida Podiatric Medical Association

The Florida Podiatric Medical Association (FPMA) is a professional organization representing podiatric physicians and surgeons throughout the state of Florida. Established in 1927, the association serves as a primary advocate for the profession, working with state legislators and regulatory bodies to advance podiatric medicine. FPMA provides its members with extensive resources, including continuing medical education (CME) programs, practice management support, and legal guidance. The organization is well-known for hosting the annual Science & Management Symposium (SAM), one of the largest podiatric clinical conferences in the United States. Through its public awareness campaigns, FPMA promotes the importance of foot and ankle health and the specialized role of podiatrists in the healthcare system. As a component of the American Podiatric Medical Association, it maintains a strong network of healthcare professionals dedicated to improving patient outcomes in lower extremity care.
