ABOUT PFA

As I sit here on my flight to Las Vegas to continue
preparations for our 60th Symposium, I find myself
thinking of how important our members are. If it was
not for you, our members, there would be no PFA!
You are all important and play an important part in
not only supporting the PFA, but the pedorthic pro-
fession as a whole. With that being said, we would
like to see our membership numbers grow this year
more than ever before. PFA has introduced many
new member benefits. We continue to develop pro-
grams to help each of you grow personally and profes-
sionally whether your focus is clinical or retail, you
are the business owner, or an employee.
As a reminder, we have several membership
categories to choose from. That includes categories
for active and retired pedorthists, shoe fitters, ortho-
pedic technicians and allied health professionals such
as physical therapists, just to name a few. If you are
not sure which membership category best fits you,
give our office a call and we will be happy to guide
you!
The Pedorthic Footcare Association
(PFA), founded in 1958, is the not-for-
profit 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
PFA’s mission is to enhance the
effectiveness and efficiency of
credentialed providers of lower
extremity pedorthic modalities through
education; increase the demand for
services through marketing; and
promote the right to practice through
government affairs activities.
