SAM Podiatric Physician Program

Welcome to the highly anticipated Science & Management Symposium (SAM) organized by the Florida Podiatric Medical Association. We are delighted to announce that this year's SAM will take place January 29 - February 2, 2025 at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. We invite you to join us at this exceptional event where cutting-edge knowledge, innovation, and camaraderie will converge for an unforgettable experience.

The Florida Podiatric Medical Association’s educational mission is to promote continuing education in podiatric medicine, podiatric surgery, and practice management through workshops and seminars. Our commitment is to increase knowledge by offering every registrant the educational assistance needed to improve care for their patients and be successful in practice by promoting the benefits of scientific advancement in the treatment, prevention, and alleviation of podiatric ailments.

SAM 2025 is exclusively a live event, with no virtual component. We understand the value of face-to-face interactions and the unparalleled benefits that can be achieved through in-person networking. This decision was made in response to overwhelming feedback from past attendees who have praised the efficacy of live meetings in fostering professional growth and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming you all to this enriching educational experience.

Note to SAM 2025 Attendees: FPMA has set up a block of hotel rooms with the conference hotel (Disney's Coronado Springs Resort) and you can access the hotel reservation link via the SAM website "Hotel & Travel" page at https://www.fpmasamconference.com/hotel-information.html. If you are contacted by anyone other than FPMA staff concerning making hotel reservations for SAM 2025, please ignore them as they are trying to pull a scam.
