BECOME A MEMBER Join Our Community

We welcome Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPMs) at all stages of their careers. Whether you’re currently in postgraduate training, have an active practice, teach full-time, or have retired – you can contribute to the CPMA community.

CPMA has both local engagement and a national reach. You’ll benefit from the close-knit community here in Connecticut as well as the resources of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

Our members gain the exposure, credibility, and career development opportunities to effectively grow their podiatric practices. You’ll join our searchable network of podiatrists that patients across the country use to find the best possible care.

You’ll also benefit from involvement in our community, including mentorship opportunities. New and established podiatrists alike can gain meaningful insights and experiences from these connections.

To make membership accessible for all licensed DPMs, we calculate membership dues on a sliding scale, which accounts for your practice status and years of experience.

MEMBER BENEFITS

WE ADVOCATE FOR YOU

CPMA values the contributions of DPMs and through our lobbyist we continue to educate the legislators in Connecticut and the U.S. Congress on the importance of Podiatric Medical services and our profession as a whole. This way, you can focus on giving your patients the best possible care and know that your voice is always being heard at the state and federal level. With these efforts in the past we achieved fee parity through negotiations with Anthem and secured the surgical ankle privileges that our well-trained Podiatrists are now able to perform. We continue to pursue reform that further recognizes the value of podiatry and results in continued parity across the medical disciplines.

WE GROW YOUR PRACTICE

All CPMA members join our searchable network of licensed DPMs utilized by patients across the country. Your inclusion increases your credibility and makes it easier for new patients to find you. CPMA members are more likely to use other members for referrals.

In addition, you’ll benefit from our marketing initiatives. Alongside APMA, we publicize the importance of podiatry to outlets across the state, bringing new visitors to our website on a regular basis.

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.
