The Connecticut Podiatric Medical Association (CPMA) welcomes Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs) at all stages of their careers. Whether you are completing postgraduate training, have an practice, teaching, or retired, CPMA provides a professional community focused on supporting podiatrists and advancing the profession in Connecticut.

CPMA is the Connecticut affiliate of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), connecting members to colleagues across Connecticut and the broader podiatric profession nationwide.

Membership provides opportunities to stay informed on issues affecting the profession, participate in educational programs, and connect with colleagues across the state. It also ensures podiatrists have a unified voice when it comes to legislative and regulatory issues that impact patient care and the future of podiatric medicine.

To make membership accessible for all licensed DPM’s, we calculate membership dues on a sliding scale, which accounts for your practice status and experience.

MEMBER BENEFITS

WE ADVOCATE FOR YOU

CPMA values the contributions of DPM’s. Our lobbyists represent podiatrists at the state and federal levels by working to ensure our profession is properly recognized and supported in healthcare policy.

Through our legislative efforts and partnerships, we continue to advocate for podiatrists and keep members informed about developments that may affect their practices. Our goal is to ensure that podiatric physicians in Connecticut can practice to the full extent of their abilities, without unnecessary barriers, while providing the highest level of care to their patients.

WE GROW YOUR PRACTICE

All CPMA members are included in our searchable directory of licensed DPMs, making it easier for patients to find qualified podiatrists in Connecticut. Being listed in the directory helps raise your visibility and credibility while connecting you with patients seeking specialized foot and ankle care. CPMA members also frequently refer within the network, strengthening professional relationships across the state.

In addition, CPMA works alongside APMA to promote awareness of podiatric medicine. Through our marketing and communication efforts, we help highlight the important role podiatrists play in healthcare and drive new visitors to the CPMA website.

WE HELP YOU CONTINUE LEARNING

CPMA members gain access to an abundance of virtual resources to keep you up to date on new research and further elevate your professional expertise. Your membership includes:

The Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association (six times/year)
The APMA News (10 times/year)
The APMA Daily eNews
APMA Alert (two times/month)

You’ll also join our members-only website, which offers valuable news and interactive online courses. By completing online material at your convenience, you can earn continuing medical education (CME) credits at no additional cost. These courses will enable you to remain at the forefront of the podiatric profession long after you’ve completed your residency.

WE CONNECT YOU WITH OUR COMMUNITY

CPMA members benefit from numerous opportunities to connect with colleagues, including former classmates and recent graduates. Our annual Scientific Symposium brings the community together for innovative lectures, practical workshops, and networking events. The topics covered span many areas of podiatry as well as a range of other relevant medical disciplines. We also host community service events, like the Connecticut Special Olympics, and meetings for smaller communities within CPMA, such as our Young Member Meeting.

Outside of our regular in-person events, you can utilize our invaluable member directory to contact colleagues and refer patients. We particularly encourage new and established podiatrists to connect and support one another.
