About
An independent organization—formed to collaborate with APMA in representing the surgical interests of APMA members. ASPS will advance the knowledge and skills of podiatrists in the area of surgery of the foot, ankle, and governing and related structures. ASPS also will provide valued expertise and information in advocating for podiatric surgeons.ASPS VISION AND PURPOSE
ASPS ensures that all APMA members and other physicians who are interested in gaining increased knowledge and skill in the area of foot and ankle surgery shall have access to ASPS. ASPS is the surgical voice for APMA and serves to promote and support the initiatives of APMA and its goals associated with Vision 2015.
As is the case with all specialty societies and colleges, ASPS is not a credentialing organization and does not conduct licensing or certification processes. The principal purpose of ASPS is to facilitate education and research activities in the area of podiatric surgery. These activities are viewed to reinforce and support licensing and certification processes.
