Seasons greetings!
We hope you, your family, patients and colleagues are safe and healthy during this very challenging pandemic. Firstly, I would like to thank the Board of Directors, and staff for their dedication to the mission and daily business activities for ABPM in these unprecedented times. This member newsletter provides a fine update of our activities over the last several months from our President, Dr. William Chagares, thank you for your leadership and dedication.
Since 2011, ABPM has participated in Maintenance of Certification (MOC), a required part of certification; the What, When and Why of the MOC is presented by MOC Chair, Dr. Nicole DeLauro.
Welcome to our new members on the Board of Directors, Dr. Brian Lepow and Dr. Priya Parthasarathy! We look forward to your talents and energies over the coming years. Congratulations to the recipients of the "Stephen M. Geller, DPM Graduate Merit Awardβ, ABPM is proud of each recipient for their continued strive for excellence in the field of podiatry.
The American College of Podiatric Medicine (ACPM), the educational arm of ABPM, has come out with the e-Learning POD which is a BRAND NEW and excellent educational opportunity for its members which will help fulfill state licensure requirements and ABPM MOC Category 2 requirements.
Our dedicated Executive Director, Dr. James Stavosky, has provided very valuable information on hospital podiatric privileging and credentialing requirements highlighted in this newsletter. If you are having any challenges with respect to credentialing and privileging, please contact Dr. Stavosky. Every organization needs a good fiscal plan and overseers to maintain it. Our Treasurer, Dr. Lee Rogers details a very positive report on our fiscal health.
As I have requested in the past, please send in your accomplishments so we can share them with your colleagues.
Sincerely,
David H. George, DPM
Editor, Founding Member and Past President
