The American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery announced Jordan Jefferson from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and JoAnn Micah Sedoriosa from Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine & Science as the winners of the 2024 ABFAS Surgeons of Tomorrow Student Conference Scholarship Contest.

The Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) seeks input on the recently revised CPME 220, “Standards and Requirements for Recognition of a Specialty Board for Podiatric Medical Practice,” and CPME 230, “Procedures for Recognition of a Specialty Board for Podiatric Medical Practice.” This is your opportunity to weigh in on the future of board certification.

As a certifying board that holds our Diplomates to the highest standards, we are extremely disappointed to see the recently published article, What's the difference between orthopaedic surgeons and podiatrists?, featuring numerous inaccuracies and half-truths. The AMA/author appear to be describing the podiatric profession 75 years ago, failing to recognize the evolution of our education and contributions to the medical field.
