The MPMS, founded in 1906, is the professional medical association representing podiatric physicians and surgeons in Massachusetts.  Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) are the preferred specialists in the medical and surgical treatment of foot and ankle related medical conditions.  As Massachusetts’ most trusted sources for podiatric health information, MPMS and its members are dedicated to promoting public health and quality patient care through policy, advocacy, innovation and continuing education.  MPMS is an affiliate of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

The MPMS Community Service Foundation (CSF), founded in 2009, is a tax exempt 501(c)3 charitable foundation that serves as the charitable arm of MPMS focusing on foot and ankle related public health and education initiatives and research projects.  Click here for more information on the mission, work and current projects of the MPMS CSF.
