ABOUT PFA
The Pedorthic Footcare Association
(PFA), founded in 1958, is the not-forprofit professional association which
represents the interests of the certified
and/or licensed pedorthist and
supports the pedorthic profession
at large.
Through PFA’s efforts, pedorthics –
the management and treatment of
conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower
extremities requiring fitting,
fabricating, and adjusting of pedorthic
devices – is a well-established allied
health profession which makes an
invaluable contribution to public
health.
MISSION
The hard work and changes of the past year are beginning to bear
fruit for our organization. We have exciting news about upcoming
events to share with you.
It is no easy task to run an organization of this size, but we are
doing it. We experienced a few of the usual transitional issues,
but have the kinks ironed out. We appreciate the patience of our
membership during that time. With those issues behind us, we
continue to work on bringing you great member benefits, and
educational opportunities that will help you add to your pedorthic
expertise.
PFA’s 57th Symposium will be in Atlanta (a hub city) this
November. Last year we did not have the funds to do this on
our own. This year is different. We are able to put together a
symposium in a location that is easily accessible from anywhere
in the U.S., with hotel room rates not seen at a PFA symposium
for many years. With easy access, great room rates, a significant
number of continuing education points, and all of your favorite
