Our view: The PodiaTrust Society believes CME's should be FREE. We will be composing links to obtain Free CME credits both online and in person. ( Please help the PodiaTrust Society). If you know of any free CME courses we haven't posted, please inform us at podiatrust@aol.com.
 Question was emailed to the NYS Podiatry board : Am I correct that AMA approved credits in the medical and surgical treatment of foot conditions are acceptable for license renewal? This involves courses on diabetes and foot conditions etc...
I received a response to my inquiry and a copy was sent to the board and myself that said the board has dealt with this issue in the past and considers course content within AMA, AOA, or ACCME certified programs to be valid CECH for DPM attendees as long as the content is related to lower extremity medicine and surgery.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local state podiatry board to consider if the attached links
on any of the PodiaTrust website pages regarding CME credits
are accepatble to them.

 In New York State, podiatrists are required to complete 50 CME credits  in a 3 year period. At least 2/3 of the course work shall be in the areas of podiatric medicine and surgery. The remaining hours may be in the areas of healthy science and ethics related to the practice of podiatry.
A maximum of 25 home study credits (Category A or B) will be accepted in any three-year registration period.
