Members Contact Legislators to Pass Title XIX
APMA and PPMA are asking its members to contact their legislators to sponsor an amendment to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, which would define Doctors of Podiatric Medicine as “physicians” in Medicaid, in the same manner as we are defined as physicians in Medicare. This is the HELLPP Act (Helping Ensure Life- and Limb-Saving Access to Podiatric Physicians Act), HR 2235.

Open Your Practice to the Next Generation of Podiatric Physicians
Mentoring and Speaking engagements are great avenues in aiding students to realize their potential in becoming a podiatric physician. Just ask Isaac Kline, mentored by Gerald Gronborg, DPM, who says that his experience with Dr. Gronborg "sealed the deal" for him to start podiatry school this fall. "I think someone has to be exposed to something before they can decide whether or not to pursue it for the rest of their life," Kline explains.
