AAPSM Member Austin Chinn, DPM was selected as this year’s medical honoree for the 35th Annual Jingle Bell Run which raises money for the Arthritis Foundation.
This will be Dr. Chinn’s fourth year running the race. He said his biggest satisfaction in medicine is giving his patients a more active lifestyle. Working with physical therapists, he tailors a treatment plan for each patient. He notes that if a foot is not right, it can send the pain upward to the knee, hip, and back. A good first step in prevention is to make sure you are wearing the correct footwear for the sport you are in, with shock absorption and support from side to side and front to back. (Source PM News)

We need your help!! This year, students from SMU are collaborating with Dr. Tim Dutra on a research project examining Bio-Orthologics and Conservative Treatments for Lower-Limb Tendinopathies in Athletes. In April 2026, they plan to travel to Chandler, Arizona to present their work at the AAPSM Annual Conference. To help cover the costs associated with conference travel, they are launching a small crowdfunding campaign and reaching out to the communities that have supported our journeys so far.

Here is the link to our campaign:

The board members of the AAPSM SMU Student Chapter believe that participating in this conference will strengthen their program’s visibility, help them build meaningful industry connections, and allow them to bring back updated insights on gait analysis, rehabilitation, and performance optimization to share with their peers.

Thank you so much for considering this hopefully supporting students and the future of podiatric sports medicine.

Help Samuel Merritt University raise $6,500 for the project: Send Four CPM Students to the 2026 AAPSM Annual Conference. Your gift will make a difference!
