Welcome to the APMA 2021 Annual Scientific meeting (The National)! Whether you’re joining us in Denver or online (or just catching up via email), we’re excited to share this premier foot and ankle meeting with you. Read on for more about what to look forward to! 

Based on your feedback, this year, we have organized all of our outstanding content into two convenient tracks (rather than the traditional three). One track will cover medical topics, while the other will focus on surgical topics.

We’ll jump right into educational sessions on Thursday morning, then join us in the afternoon for our Opening Session featuring Natalie Stavas, MD, followed by the Grand Opening of the Exhibit Hall.

On Friday and Saturday, there will be hands-on workshops on site in Denver (ask about availability of slots at Registration if you have not already signed up) and our popular surgical blitz sessions. Support your alma mater on Saturday during the exciting Podiatry School Student Quiz Bowl. Also Saturday, enjoy the latest science shaping the practice of podiatry at our oral abstracts session and the poster abstracts symposium.

In a very important addition to our on-site program this year, on-site attendees can attend a screening of “Do No Harm,” a documentary that exposes the epidemic of physician suicide and burnout. The Saturday evening screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts on physician wellness. Virtual attendees will have the option to take part in on-demand physician wellness programming to replace the two CECH offered to in-person attendees for the “Do No Harm” event.

Sunday will deliver the unmatched Harry Goldsmith, DPM, Memorial Coding Seminar.

APMA is deeply grateful to be able to welcome you back to in-person education—and to continue to serve an even broader community of podiatric physicians and surgeons via our Online Learning Center. We hope you will share your perspectives about the meeting with us via the meeting evaluation, which will be available soon after the close of the meeting. Until then, thank you for being with us for The National! We look forward to delivering an exceptional event.
