denial of access to the USMLE from the National
Board of Medical Examiners and the Federation of
State Medical Boards and how we can demonstrate
to our allopathic and osteopathic colleagues
that our education and training have
earned us the right to be recognized as physicians.
As was laid out by the Joint Task Force of
Orthopaedic and Podiatric Surgeons, the orthopedic
community was willing to concede comparability
in education and training if we could pass
the same licensing exam that they take, i.e., the
USMLE. However, if access to the USMLE is not
available, we need to work with our stakeholders
and the allopathic and osteopathic community to
find an acceptable way to demonstrate the
comparability of our education and training.
I believe if we view these challenges as opportunities,
we can work cohesively to obtain real
change in our profession's future. The ability to
speak with one overarching message is very important
moving forward. That message must also
be inclusive and meaningful to all members.
APMA News: APMA is always working to deliver
value to members at every stage of their careers.
How do you see the organization accomplishing
that goal?

Dr. Pickard: Value is in the eye of the beholder.
APMA must be relevant to all members at all stages
of our members' careers. Our members access
information in vastly different ways, so we must
constantly reach out to them in many different
ways. This can be a great challenge, but our board
and staff work hard to deliver that value daily. The
staff is constantly coming up with new ideas and
ways to reach out to our members. Whether it is
the new dedicated Online Learning Center, the
new member health-care insurance options, or the
Step Into Podiatry campaign addressing career
awareness, APMA is listening to the diverse needs
of our members and constantly evolving.
APMA News: How will APMA continue to adapt
and recover as we grapple with the long-lasting
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic?
Dr. Pickard: Like many other health-care organizations,
APMA had to pivot quite rapidly when the
pandemic began. I couldn't be prouder of how we
handled the situation and the surprising new
programs that developed directly from the " new
normal. " The ability to forgive one quarter of the
national dues was one of the best decisions that
the Board of Trustees made back in 2020. We had
an extremely successful Online CECH Summer
