valuable practice information that APMA will use to better support your specific needs. It is very important that we get the maximum number of completed surveys returned, so that we have the most up to datecurrent and accurate information on the practice of podiatry by APMA members. This information is extremely valuable in student recruitment efforts, dealing with private insurance companies and federal government agencies, and for APMA's future planning of the APMA. We want to make informed
decisions, but we need your help! More
