Our Podiatric Business Management Organization Provides Resources and Tools to Help Podiatrists Grow Their Practices and Increase Profits
The American Academy of Podiatric Practice Management (AAPPM) is a respected organization dedicated to helping podiatry professionals succeed in medicine. Since 1961, we’ve connected members to resources, products, and services to improve efficiency, grow their practice, and increase profits.
While other podiatric associations focus on the scientific and medical aspects of patient care, AAPPM helps you round out that knowledge with education, instruction, and events designed to make your practice a more profitable business. We’re the best resource for business-minded doctors and their staff because we’re the only organization that promotes the business side of podiatric practice management.
