President’s Message
I'm pleased to bring you several important updates and share the vision of the Board of Directors for the future of the ABPM.
We Are Growing
The ABPM has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade and has now surpassed 5,500 diplomates. We attribute this growth to changes in residency training models and the desire of podiatrists to achieve board certification as quickly as possible after training. Because the ABPM certification is recognized by governments, hospitals, insurance companies, and academic institutions as certification in the primary specialty of podiatry, it has helped make it the preferred certification for podiatrists immediately after residency.

Lee C. Rogers, DPM
President, ABPM

|
We also attribute our growth to the fairness of the ABPM's validated exam process. The pass rate of the ABPM certification exam is consistently 85-88% commensurate with member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties and the American Osteopathic Association.
We Modernized the Exam Process
ABPM has streamlined the certification process by combining the qualification and certification exams into one exam and eliminating the status of "Board Qualification." The Board created a new status of Board Eligible which aligns with MD and DO boards and reduces confusion with hospital medical staff professionals when podiatrists are applying for privileges. Now, just like in allopathic medicine, when a podiatrist finishes an approved residency program, they are Board Eligible until they either pass the exam and become Board Certified or their eligibility expires. ABPM determined that period of eligibility to be 8 years.
We Help with Hospital and Surgical Privileges
ABPM certification leads to hospital and surgical privileges all over the country. However, occasionally we still encounter an issue experienced by a diplomate. In response, the ABPM has published a guide for medical staff professionals to understand podiatry training and certification.
The Guide is available at www.podiatryprivileges.com and outlines the various laws and standards hospitals must consider in privileging a podiatrist. For example, hospitals must make privileging decisions on a provider's education, training, and current experience and if board certification is a required element in privileging, it must be privileging in a provider's primary specialty. ABPM is that primary certification since there is a single residency program in podiatry leading to certification by either of the two CPME-recognized boards. Diplomates who experience privileging discrimination based on their board certification can contact the Board and I personally review every case and direct the Board's efforts.
We Offer Certificates of Added Qualification
Diplomates have asked for ABPM to offer a step beyond board certification to recognize a podiatrist's expertise in a particular subspecialty of podiatry. The ABPM created the Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) program. A CAQ is not board certification, it requires a podiatrist to already be board certified by a CPME-recognized board in order to be eligible. However, it is an important voluntary recognition process similar to those offered in by MD and DO boards. The ABPM created the CAQ in Amputation Prevention and Wound Care (CAQAP) in 2016. In 2022 we offered the first CAQ in Podiatric Sports Medicine (CAQPSM). We are excited to announce that ABPM will issue a CAQ in Podiatric Surgery (CAQPS) in 2023. The Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) is a special distinction created and issued solely by the ABPM to recognize a podiatric physician who has established additional competency beyond board certification in either Amputation Prevention and Wound Care, Podiatric Surgery or Podiatric Sports Medicine.
One and Done. Period.
The ABPM has modernized it’s processes to streamline certification needs for DPMs while upholding our sacred promise to protect the public. Now, if you completed a CPME-approved Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency (PMSR) you are Board Eligible on day 1.
You are eligible to sit for the exam on a single day in October of the year you complete residency. Upon passing the exam, you are board certified. Done. Additionally, the ABPM now is the only board certification that gives podiatrists access to fellowship in both APMA medical and surgical affiliates, the American College of Podiatric Medicine (ACPM) and the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons (ASPS). See the complete fellowship requirements on the website of the affiliate.
Welcome to the new ABPM, Certifying Today's Podiatrist!

In the management space, Dr. Goldman is Board-Certified by the American College of Healthcare Executives. Dr. Goldman is currently the Executive Director of ACPM and resides in Arizona with his wife, Linda.
Looking Forward: Thoughts from Dr. Goldman
What are your hopes for the podiatric profession moving forward?
"I foresee the profession continuing to grow and thrive in the changing landscape of the healthcare delivery system and being an integral part of the teams managing foot care. As our population ages, I further am encouraged with the ability to be well positioned for playing an even larger role in engaging with our allopathic medical partners in treating this growing population."
What role do you feel the ACPM should play to enhance the profession?
"I believe ACPM can be one of the premier sources for the delivery of educational content to our profession, providing high quality, peer reviewed material of high value to the practicing practitioner. I will be discussing a certain number of initiatives with the ACPM Board of Directors and Leadership in the hopes of further creating the space where there is an effective delivery of this content. As the educational arm of the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, and as a Past President of that organization, I would like to further foster the relationship between our sister organizations."

New CAQ in Podiatric Surgery | |
|
Gina M. Painter, DPM
Interim Executive Director

|
W.E. Chagares, DPM
Immediate Past President

The American Board of Podiatric Medicine announces the addition of a new Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Podiatric Surgery to the Board’s expanding lineup of professional credentials.
This CAQ is a voluntary step beyond Board Certification that recognizes knowledge, expertise, and experience in the subspecialty of podiatric surgery. CAQs are valuable demonstrations of a provider’s competence in each subspecialty. Among sole practitioners, CAQs provide compelling reassurance and confidence to prospective patients to know they are being treated by someone possessing knowledge and experience beyond those of the everyday provider.
For those podiatrists seeking greater opportunity in hospitals, clinics, collaboratives and other large institutional employers, CAQs provide additional prestige and competitiveness to both physicians and their institutions. ABPM provides Certificates of Added Qualification in response to changes in public needs and to meet the desire of many podiatrists for recognition of their commitment to a subspecialty of podiatry beyond board certification. ABPM recognizes there is significant demand among diplomates for a CAQ in podiatric surgery.
This credential is analogous to those provided by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Board of Surgery, as a voluntary step after primary board certification. Any podiatrist with a specific practice interest in podiatric surgery, who can demonstrate the required criteria below and pass a validated, knowledge-based examination and demonstrate the added experience can earn this credential.

Treasurer’s Report
I am happy to report as your Treasurer that ABPM continues to expand and prosper amidst these unprecedented times. Our Headquarters based in Hermosa Beach, CA has completed a major renovation which will be able to better accommodate our growing membership and it’s supporting administration. Its top floor has also been redeveloped to allow for expanded conference capability and is able to accommodate more than one meeting at a given time.
We have also added support staff to our growing organization so that you can continue to receive the highest level of service from the ABPM. COVID-19 has continued to have an impact on live meetings which has lessened the budgeted marketing and committee travel expenditure early this year but seems to be making a turn around in the second half of 2022. Our managed investment portfolio continues to thrive and solidifies a strong Nicole DeLauro, DPM future for the ABPM.

ABPM's New Headquarters in Hermosa Beach Gets a Makeover
By ABPM Staff
Welcome to Headquarters! After many months of construction work at our building in California, we're happy to introduce you to our new headquarters! The prior layout of this building was dark and cramped with little room for storage, demos or extra people aside from staff. Our update included a complete remodel with an open floor plan, generous lighting and style inspired by the breezy, beach-feel of Hermosa Beach, where we call home.
Our building includes an upstairs portion suitable for the meetings of the Board of Directors, various committees and others when the occasion arises. The new property provides more than double our prior space and has the capacity to quadruple the space if needed. A separate portion of the property provides rental income, helping to bolster ABPM's already secure financial position. Board-eligible and diplomates are welcome to call on staff anytime, we look forward to hosting you! Inside ABPM Headquarter in Hermosa Beach!
