The Florida Podiatric Medical Association’s educational mission is to promote continuing education in podiatric medicine, podiatric surgery, and practice management through workshops and seminars. Our commitment is to increase knowledge by offering every registrant the educational assistance needed to improve care for their patients and be successful in practice by promoting the benefits of scientific advancement in the treatment, prevention, and alleviation of podiatric ailments.

The Florida Podiatric Medical Association (FPMA) is approved by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) as a provider of continuing education in podiatric medicine. As is the case with all specialty societies and colleges, FPMA is not a credentialing organization and does not conduct licensing or certification processes. The principal purpose of FPMA is to facilitate education in the area of podiatric medicine and surgery. This activity is viewed to reinforce and support licensing and certification processes."
