Podiatry Institute

What Podiatry Institute does

The Podiatry Institute, Inc. is a non-profit educational foundation founded in 1978 by Dr. E. Dalton McGlamry and headquartered at 2675 N. Decatur Road, Suite 309, Decatur, Georgia. The organization provides continuing medical education (CME) and CECH (Continuing Education Contact Hours) for podiatric physicians, surgeons, residents, and students, with Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) approved-provider status. Its core product set spans 20+ annual hybrid seminars across US cities (Park City, New Orleans, Phoenix, Newport, Hilton Head, San Diego, Philadelphia, Fort Myers) offering up to 25 CECH credits each; intensive cadaver surgery courses at the Emory Decatur Hospital Learning Center (limited to 16 attendees at $1,800); an on-demand CECH digital library of 10 self-paced sessions (20 CECH total) priced at $60/session; a monthly Free First Tuesday Webinar Series; and a portfolio of published educational materials including McGlamry's Comprehensive Textbook of Foot & Ankle Surgery (5th Edition), The P.I. Manual, Internal Fixation Workbooks, DVDs, and PowerPoint presentations. International medical mission programs to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nepal complement the educational offering.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time and recurring tuition streams: tiered seminar registration ($625-$775 in-person, $725-$775 live-stream, $125-$175 residents/students, $400-$525 retired/military); cadaver courses; on-demand CECH sessions; sales of textbooks and study materials; and corporate sponsorships from medical device and diagnostics companies (Bako Diagnostics, DePuy Synthes/Johnson & Johnson, Sagis Diagnostics, Ortho Dermatologics) under Platinum and Gold tier structures. The go-to-market is event-driven, anchored by hybrid in-person and live-stream seminars with a growing digital and on-demand component, supplemented by a global medical mission program that doubles as a brand and community-building channel. Customer segments are horizontal — practicing podiatrists form the primary persona, with residents/students and medical device/diagnostics sponsors as secondary segments — and pricing is tiered by attendance mode, professional status, and timing.
