More than 2,000 physicians and medical specialists will gather at the Hawai`i Convention Center for the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) annual scientific meeting from July 24-27 to share breakthrough research and cutting-edge clinical knowledge in podiatric medicine. The organization last held its conference in Hawai`i in 2008.

The diverse programming at this year’s meeting includes sessions on the impact of marathon running, use of stem cells to treat diabetic wounds, general pediatrics, sports medicine, and more. A debate will also be held to discuss minimalist versus traditional running shoes.

The APMA is the nation’s leading professional organization for podiatrists. For more information, visit www.apma.org.
