James Christina to Assume APMA CEO Role October 24

James R. Christina, DPM, will assume the office of APMA executive director and CEO on October 24 at the fall meeting of the APMA Board of Trustees.

Dr. Christina was selected as the association’s incoming executive director after a comprehensive national search process that began in 2014. His candidacy was approved by the APMA House of Delegates in March 2015, and he has been working closely with current Executive Director Glenn B. Gastwirth, DPM, since that time to transition into the position.

“I am eager to take this new office and continue to serve APMA,” Dr. Christina said. “This is an exciting time for podiatric medicine. There is tremendous opportunity for the profession as health care evolves, and APMA will continue to support its member physicians with advocacy, education, and outstanding member services.”
