APMAby Anonymous (no login)Are you a member? I bet not. SO if you disagree with their policies then join and work from within. The APMA can not and should not be involved in any board of examiner issues affecting individuals. In the US there are scores if not hundreds of DPMs as well as other doctors of varying degrees who have complaints filed with their state boards. If the APMA were to interfere with the Gale issue then they would atleast be required to investigate any request by a DPM to review their case. This would bog down the system and keep them from working on political issues affecting the profession. Besides they have absolutely no authority over a state licensing agency. Now back to the question are you a member? If not I suggest you have no right to comment on what the APMA does or doesn't do. If your reason for not joining is purely philosophical then did you donate the amount of your dues to the Fund for Podiatric Education to help out those students and the young you care so much about? I doubt it. Bottomline is that many nonmembers make general statements like their spineless or they never do anything so they can save the dues money for themselves.
