Welcome to Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association
The Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association (PPMA) is the voice and conscience of 850-plus member podiatrists across all counties of Pennsylvania. Membership in the PPMA maintains the unified front needed to sustain podiatric medicine as the main source of foot and ankle care in Pennsylvania.
Foot Fact:
According to the American Diabetes Association more than 60 percent of all non-trauma related, lower-limb amputations are related to complications from diabetes? Podiatrists work with diabetic patients every day to prevent and treat diabetic foot complications.
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.
