ALPHABET SOUP
of Podiatry-Related Organizations
Keeping track of the many acronyms
of each podiatric organization can be
quite the undertaking. If you've ever
gone cross-eyed trying to distinguish
ASPS from AAPPM from AACPM, please
believe that you are not the only one.
For this reason, the APMSA Alphabet
Soup is here for you! This list gives
you the meaning of each acronym, a
short description of the organization's
mission, and the point of contact
through the APMSA House of Delegates.
It is our hope that this can help you
throughout your podiatric education,
and hopefully it will alleviate some
of the dizzying stress of keeping all
of these straight. Good luck!
