Organogenesis Inc. has been named a 2017 sponsor of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), including support for three of the APMA’s leading educational programs: the Residency Education Resource Center
(REdRC), the Young Physicians’ Institute (YPI), and the Young Physicians’ Practice Management Expo & Coding Seminar. 

Organogenesis also sponsored the APMA 2017 Annual Scientific Meeting held in Nashville, TN.

During the conference, Organogenesis’ advanced wound care portfolio was highlighted with speaker presentations, product demonstrations, and information at the Organogenesis booth.  Additionally, John J. Doolan, DPM, FACFAS, presented “BBWM™: A Proactive Approach to Support Healing” to discuss biofilm, its impact on wound care, and a biofilm-based wound management approach that includes sharp debridement and the use of PuraPly™ Antimicrobial to help control biofilm and support healing.

“As a sponsor of APMA for more than a decade, we proudly support the organization’s goal to promote foot and ankle health through a wide array of educational programs and events,” said Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr, Organogenesis president and chief executive officer.

The APMA represents the vast majority of podiatrists in the United States. For more than 90 years, APMA has promoted the benefits of proper healthcare through appropriate preventive and educational strategies.

The REdRC allows APMA to offer an online educational lecture program free of charge to residents and residency directors through its educational portal. Organogenesis staff members assisted APMA in the development of the REdRC nearly four years ago as a founding sponsor of the tool.

The YPI, now in its seventh year, is a program designed for the future leaders of podiatric medicine. This year’s program will focus on providing attendees with an overview of the state of podiatry, including varied practice settings as well as legislative and regulatory initiatives that affect the field.

The Young Physician’s Practice Management Expo & Coding Seminar shares practice-related information and tools for podiatric, allopathic, and osteopathic physicians, including Meaningful Use and incentives, office staffing, practice marketing, contract negotiation, and coding and reimbursement.
