The American Podiatric Medical Association is the premier national organization representing the vast majority of podiatrists in the United States. Founded in 1912, the APMA is the leading resource for foot and ankle health information.

The APMA REdRC was developed to offer an educational lecture program free of charge to residents and residency directors through its online portal. For the past seven years, Organogenesis has supported the development of this important tool as a founding sponsor.

Now in its ninth year, the YPI program provides future leaders in podiatric medicine with a valuable and timeless educational resource.
