Best-Kept Secrets
We often hear about " best-kept secrets, " and it may be in reference to a great restaurant,
a place to live, or a particular product. I want to talk about two best-kept secrets
specific to podiatry.
The first secret is how great a career in podiatric medicine and surgery can be. We
are facing a serious decline in qualified applicants to our podiatric medical schools.
APMA is working hard through our highly successful Step into Podiatry campaign to
spread the word and create a large and sustainable pool of prospective students for
our colleges over the next several years. Our match rate for podiatric medical college
graduates entering three-year, hospital-based podiatric medicine and surgery residencies
has been 100 percent for the past several years. Allopathic and osteopathic
graduates have match rates of about 92 percent and 88 percent, respectively, and
that does not mean they're matching with their first choice. Matriculating podiatric
medical students know they are on a career path that will include access to residency
training. We want to get the message out to as many prospective students as possible,
and there's no one better to do it than you, our APMA members. Take time today
to log in to www.apma.org and sign up to be a mentor. Once on APMA.org, click
" My Account, " then " Update Contact and Mentor Info; " scroll and select " Become a
Podiatry Mentor, " then " Save. " We know when a prospective student visits a podiatrist's
office, the chances of them applying to podiatric medical school increase significantly.
You are the best ambassadors for our profession.
The other best-kept secret is the APMA Annual Scientific Meeting (The National)-a
world-class scientific meeting. This year in Orlando, FL, attendees earned up to 27.5
continuing education contact hours (CECH). I hear so often from first-time attendees
how astounded they are by the quality of the meeting-from the speakers and topics to
the massive exhibit hall. This year's meeting at the Orlando World Center Marriott was
no exception. Mark your calendar now for The National 2023-July 13-16 at the Gaylord
Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN. You won't want to miss the
surgical and medical tracks, daily breakfast symposia, workshops, dedicated coding lectures,
multiple non-CECH lunch and dinner symposia, and other special events. Watch
for registration to open early in 2023 and be part of this best-kept secret!
