APMA House of Delegates Passes Policy
Proposition 2-22 on Physician Parity
Scott Hughes, DPM, chair of the Committee on Physician Parity, presents to the HOD on
the work of the committee in recent months. He is flanked by (seated, R-L) committee
members David Alper, DPM: William Long, DPM; and Leslie Campbell, DPM.
On March 13 during its regular meeting in
Washington, DC, the APMA House of Delegates
passed Policy Proposition 2-22 with multiple state
component societies and affiliated organizations
joining as cosponsors. The proposition made it the
official position of APMA that doctors of podiatric
medicine have achieved parity with allopathic and
osteopathic physicians in that they are physicians
and surgeons qualified by their education and training;
their licensing exam is comparable to licensing
exams administered by NBME and NBOME; CPMEapproved
residency programs meet standards
comparable to ACGME residency programs; and
certifying boards recognized by CPME meet standards
comparable to those of ABMS.
The proposition further stipulated that APMA
will work to ensure that DPMs are authorized by
federal and state governments, hospitals, private
and public health systems, and third-party payers
to practice to the full extent of their education
and training. It noted that parity is a collaborative
effort and should include equal pay for equal
services; acknowledgment of the equivalency of
education and training among allopathic, osteopathic,
and podiatric physicians; and public
recognition of podiatric medicine and surgery as a
Delegate Mindi Dayton, DPM, Iowa, and President Laura Pickard, DPM, queued up along
with many other delegates to share their perspective on physician parity and APMA's role
in achieving it during the Townhall Forum devoted to this topic.
specialty within medicine.
" APMA is pleased that the leaders of podiatric
medicine and surgery came together in such a collaborative
and productive way to address concerns
around the profession's path to parity, " said Scott
Hughes, DPM, trustee and chair of the Committee
on Physician Parity. " We are a small profession,
and we must be united in our commitment to our
mutual goals. We look forward to working together
in the year ahead toward the goals outlined in
Proposition 2-22. "
The House of Delegates also approved
Budgetary Action Item 2-22 " Recognition of
Physician Parity " that directs the APMA under the
direction of the Committee on Physician Parity to
establish work groups that include the appropriate
stakeholders to develop an action plan with various
pathways for federal, state, and local recognition of
doctors of podiatric medicine as physicians.
