2016 APMSA Residency Survey Unveiled
The APMSA Annual Residency Survey is our most sought out publication and is sponsored in part by the APMSA Partners. You can now access it with your member ID on the restricted portion of our website for members only. The Residency Survey is presented in a PDF format to later be updated in a flip book format and has a direct link to CASPR 2017 which includes further pertinent information on each residency program. This year, we have even more composite data graphs and program summaries. In addition, there is a listing of residency programs with the most current hyperlinks available to contact programs directly. For more information visit www.apmsa.org or contact Kimberly Vouzikas at apmsaktv@apma.org
Transition Afoot at the APMSA
It is with a mixture of sadness and warm wishes that the APMSA announces the retirement of its Executive Director, Dorothy McDonald. Ms. McDonald has irrefutably contributed to the success of the organization over the past 12 years and the profession for over 25 years. Her efforts and unconditional commitment and dedication throughout the years have helped the organization and the profession tremendously. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and tenure at both the APMA and the APMSA. I am proud of what the APMSA has accomplished during my time as executive director, and for me, the APMSA will always represent the lifeblood of the podiatric profession. Working for this noble profession has been an honor and a privilege. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served and for the lasting relationships I have made along the way.”  -Dorothy Cahill McDonald

The APMSA has begun a search for Ms. McDonald’s successor. Once a replacement is named, we will share that information.
Valeant Redux
The APMSA extends its gratitude to Valeant Pharmaceuticals, LLC, for its sponsorship of the educational program, “Employment Setting Opportunities”, held during the APMSA House of Delegates meeting in Philadelphia in July. Because of Valeant’s generous sponsorship, for the second year in a row, students attending the APMA National conference were able to acquire instrumental information by Drs. Matthew Garoufalis and David Yeager who provided students with a guide to success in residency and beyond, which was invaluable knowledge for students. Students expressed how informative the presentation was, as they had not yet been educated on how to navigate the job market and the array of contributing factors to explore.

Valeant continually demonstrates its commitment to the students and understands you are the future of podiatry. The APMSA is fortunate to have them as a Partner working alongside us to provide educational programming for our members.
