What we do

Since 1947 the International Federation of Podiatrists – Fédération Internationale des Podologues has represented podiatrists and the podiatry profession worldwide. We have seen tremendous changes and advances in the field of podiatry during the course of our history. We are filled with great optimism and excitement, as we reflect on our achievements and look to future opportunities in the field of Podiatry. We see our membership growing and see the dedication of all Podiatrists as they strive to achieve the highest level of podiatric practice and education. We witness governments recognizing the podiatric profession and integrating podiatrists into their health systems.

The International Federation of Podiatrists is in the driver’s seat as the voice for the podiatric professional globally, leading advocacy efforts to promote general foot healthcare, and changing the future of those with foot and ankle ailments.

Our ability to succeed in this endeavor will only be possible through strong partnerships and collaboration. Advances in podiatry are happening around the world, let’s foster more of them, together.

 

Be part of this movement and celebrate with us International Podiatry Day.
