Last but not least, please cast your vote for the Board of Directors election by June 1st. If you have not received a ballot please contact ABPM Headquarters at admin@ABPMed.org.

The ACPM e-Learning POD (Podiatry On Demand) is an online module for continuing education showcasing lectures from ABPM Diplomates and Distinguished ACPM Fellows. Each lecture is followed by a short quiz and survey allowing users to earn both CME (for your state, Category 1) and ABPM MOC (Category 2) credits.

The ACPM e-Learning POD library constantly updated with new lectures and will continue to grow in 2021. The ACPM e-Learning POD is FREE to all ACPM Fellows! ACPM Fellows will have access to the lectures from their ACPM dashboard and can add to their library.
Certificates of Added Qualification (CAQ)
Why does the ABPM offer a CAQ?
The Certificates of Added Qualification were developed in Amputation Prevention and Wound Care and Podiatric Sports Medicine by ABPM in response to the changes in public needs and the desire of many podiatrists to have a mechanism to be recognized for their commitment to a subspecialty of podiatry.

This process will be available to any podiatrist certified with a CPME-recognized board with specific practice interest and demonstrable expertise in this area who passes a validated, knowledge-based examination.

What CAQs are offered by the ABPM?
Amputation Prevention & Wound Care
NEW! Podiatric Sports Medicine

The next CAQ Examinations will be administered on March 9, 2022 and the application process will open in October of 2021.
"I have a CAQ in Amputation Prevention and Wound Care and proud to display it in our office. Having this CAQ conveys to my patients that they are in good hands, being taken care of by a podiatrist who has gone the extra mile to receive this certification. This ensures the patient that I completed training above and beyond the norm for a podiatrist, and providing the most appropriate care for their wounds and preventing an amputation."

-David Pougatsch, DPM
Note: The Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) is a special distinction created and issued solely by the ABPM to recognize a podiatric physician certified with a CPME-recognized board who has established additional competency beyond board certification in either Amputation Prevention and Wound Care or Podiatric Sports Medicine.
