Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association

Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association The Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association (PPMA) represents podiatrists in Pennsylvania.

PPMA started in 1909 in order to stop an objectionable legislative bill proposed to regulate all phases of health care practice, which included a clause to eliminate the practice of chiropody [podiatry]. The profession had to come together and raise funds and obtain the legal advice to stop that bill. Their collective efforts proved successful and brought about a charter for a much needed state organization, the Chiropody Society of Pennsylvania, on November 1, 1909. Out of 325 men and women practicing chiropody in the Keystone State at that time, it was 42 practitioners who responded to the solicitation for funds to keep their profession alive in Pennsylvania. Today, PPMA has grown to represent over 875 podiatrists across the state.

Introducing Alicia Canzanese, DPM - PPMA President 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Here is her first message addressing our members:
It is an honor to introduce myself to you for the first time as your new President. I have been a member of PPMA since 2016 and have appreciated all the benefits that membership in PPMA provides. I have served as an active board member of both PPMA and The Goldfarb Foundation, committed to providing value to our members.
I am currently an adjunct professor at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and a practicing podiatrist at Lee S. Cohen & Associates. I regularly lecture at podiatric educational conferences on sports medicine.
I want to provide you a quick update on a few initiatives:
The Goldfarb Foundation is preparing to open registration to its LESS CHAOS event (The Lower Extremity Surgical Symposium), which past participants have called “a real gem.” LESS CHAOS will be a highly sought-after event in 2026 that you will want to share with residents and fellows in your network.
Our board has continued to waive membership dues for Pennsylvania residents, allowing them to reap the benefits of APMA and PPMA. You may wish to introduce PPMA to residents that you interact with by encouraging them to sign up for membership on our website.
Members who wish to volunteer their time in visiting a college of their choice to make a presentation on podiatric careers are encouraged to contact our office with questions, as we continue to support our members who want to volunteer their time investing in the grassroots efforts of student recruitment.
I will share updates with you throughout the year on legislation that impacts podiatry. We continue to advocate for you regarding reimbursements and offer a free review of coding issues by a Certified Coding Expert as a valuable part of your membership benefits.
Thank you for your membership in PPMA. If you have any issues that require support, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. I look forward to working with you!
