The California School of Podiatric Medicine is eagerly anticipating hosting the 2017 APMSA Annual Basketball Tournament this February 24-25, 2017. Our entire student body has worked for months to create a memorable and entertaining tournament for all to enjoy. Our students were part of nine different planning committees and looked into every last detail. We are excited to welcome those of you who are coming to the bay area.

Thirty-eight games will be played during the two-day tournament with students from eight of the nine podiatric medical schools participating. The student participation at this year’s tournament will be in excess of 150 students, making this one of the largest tournament in years.
After the basketball games on Friday, participants will have an opportunity to see the area guided by our students. On Saturday, the athletic portion of the tournament will be followed by a banquet with educational presentations from residents of three different local residency programs, tournament awards, food, and music.
We are extremely grateful for the members of the APMSA Partners Program who have dedicated time, money, and resources that make this tournament a possibility. We look forward to welcoming those of you who are coming.
