New Mexico Podiatric Medical Association

About New Mexico Podiatric Medical Association

The New Mexico Podiatric Medical Association is a nonprofit professional organization representing podiatric physicians across the state, with an office in Albuquerque. As the state affiliate of the American Podiatric Medical Association, the organization advocates on behalf of DPMs on coding, reimbursement, and policy matters, and connects members with continuing education opportunities, including an annual educational conference for doctors and medical staff. The association is governed by a board of practicing podiatrists, with Dr. Janet Simon serving as Executive Director alongside a slate of officers drawn from podiatry practices around New Mexico. Rather than treating patients directly, the association supports the profession as a whole and helps the public locate a foot and ankle specialist through its website. It also promotes public awareness of foot health, noting that the average person takes thousands of steps daily over a lifetime that adds up to well over 100,000 miles.
