SAM 2024 Podiatric Physician Program


Welcome to the highly anticipated Science & Management Symposium (SAM) organized by the Florida Podiatric Medical Association. We are delighted to announce that this year’s SAM will be held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando from January 24th to 28th, 2024. We invite you to join us at this exceptional event where cutting-edge knowledge, innovation, and camaraderie will converge for an unforgettable experience.

SAM 2024 will take place approximately sixty days prior to March 31, 2024, the biennium deadline for Florida Podiatric Physicians to renew their licensure. Please visit the SAM 2024 Physician Schedule via the link below to see the lecture line-up, including required courses for license renewal.

SAM 2024 is exclusively a live event, with no virtual component. We understand the value of face-to-face interactions and the unparalleled benefits that can be achieved through in-person networking. This decision was made in response to overwhelming feedback from past attendees who have praised the efficacy of live meetings in fostering professional growth and collaboration.

Let’s unite in knowledge, innovation, and collaboration at SAM 2024, forging a future that advances podiatric medicine and enhances patient care. We look forward to welcoming you all to this enriching educational experience.
