I don't have really strong feelings either way because I can see good and bad to both. The main advantage of changing the name, as I see it, is reflecting the true scope of what we can do, as there are still people who don't realize what we are trained to do. But just since I have been in school, there have been a lot of name changes; NBPME to APMLE, PM&S-36 to PMSR w Cert, ABPS to ABFAS (potentially), etc. I really don't think these name changes do much, and just add to the confusion about who we as podiatrists are. I personally don't think much more could be gained from the name change as what could be gained by more patient education. I guess I am leaning towards keeping the name, but like I said, I can see the other side of it too.
