Overview of IPMSA and APMSA: Supporting Podiatric Medical Students and Their Future

The Illinois Podiatric Medical Student Association (IPMSA) and the American Podiatric Medical Student Association (APMSA) serve as vital links between podiatry students and their professional organizations. They oversee important activities, including elections, conferences, and advocacy efforts to represent student interests at a national level. The APMA PAC is crucial for funding political candidates who support the podiatric profession. Your contributions ensure that future legislative efforts succeed and help further the field of podiatry. Contact us for any questions or interest in participation.
