The Association of Podiatric Medicine (Singapore) is an official body representing Asia-based Podiatry professionals. Our society welcomes the participation of all relevant professionals in our effort to advance the profession.
The APM(S) is registered in the Republic of Singapore and is in partnership with universities and societies in the United Kingdom, America, and Australia.
The association endeavours to ensure that the practice of podiatry is protected and thriving with a full scope of practice encompassing public health, specialist care, surgery, and general practice, while making a vital contribution to the health of the population.
The association campaigns to raise awareness of podiatry amongst health professionals, government bodies, and the general public while supporting podiatrists through focused training events and workshops conducted by experts in the field.
The association works in conjunction with established foreign universities to establish podiatric medicine programmes in a local context, thus allowing local students to pursue a local degree in podiatric medicine.
The association is developing a suitable set of guidelines and standards of care for podiatrists which all members must adhere to in order to ensure they are complying with membership requirements and practising to the highest standard of care. These policies will integrate local contexts with the support of podiatrists from multiple countries (UK, Australia, USA, Brunei, Malaysia).
The association’s goal is to develop and enhance the interest of podiatric medicine Singapore, to encourage retention of podiatric professionals by promoting the professional standing of the field and elevate the quality of podiatric professionals in public and private health through professional seminars and training.
To develop and clarify society’s understanding of podiatry’s role in the healthcare system and ensure that podiatry is regarded as an essential medicine in the prevention of lower limb or associated life loss.
To create opportunities for students to pursue a local education in podiatric medicine and provide them guidance in their career as healthcare professionals.
