MISSION STATEMENT

To educate and advance the art of minimally invasive foot and ankle surgery to lower extremity surgeons around the world.

The AMIFAS educational mission is to advance the art and science of podiatric medicine by providing quality clinical learning experiences to members and non-members, and shall include a variety of instructional sessions aimed at significantly enhancing patient care, treatment protocols, and practice efficiency. The program may include interactive educational learning methods and principles utilizing lectures, panel discussions, point-counterpoint, case studies, question and answer, handouts, audio-visual materials (including media or narrations), hands-on workshops and roundtable discussions with moderators to achieve a well-rounded venue of postgraduate instruction.

AMIFAS provides continuing education activities for podiatric physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, and other physicians with an interest in minimally invasive techniques. Our pledge to the podiatric community is to increase knowledge and awareness of minimally invasive procedures to ultimately improve patient care and outcomes. We are committed to bridging the gap between traditional surgical techniques and the growing need for training in alternative solutions. Upon completion of our educational programs, physicians will:

  • Distinguish by analysis the appropriate modalities in the treatment, care and protocols of current trends, application and practices of medicine in podiatry
  • Generalize, synthesize, or deduce by classification ways to develop treatment protocols based on current literature and evidence-based medicine
  • Compare, contrast and evaluate judgement values for those ideas presented between medical and surgical applications.
