FAQ
Which board licenses podiatrists in Connecticut?
The Connecticut Board of Examiners in Podiatry, established under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-51 and operating within the Connecticut Department of Public Health's Practitioner Licensing and Investigations Section. The board has examining authority over DPMs and disciplinary jurisdiction under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 20-59.
How many CE hours do Connecticut podiatrists need?
Zero. Connecticut imposes no continuing-education requirement on podiatrists for active license renewal. Confirmed three ways: Conn. Gen. Stat. Ch. 375 contains no CE provision; the DPH "License Types with Continuing Education Requirements" page does not list Podiatry; and the Podiatry Licensure page links to no CE sub-page. Connecticut is one of the few US jurisdictions with no recurring DPM CE mandate.
Are APMA-approved credits accepted in Connecticut?
Connecticut does not require CE for active podiatry license renewal, so the question of which credit types are "accepted" does not arise at the state-board level. APMA-approved CME and CPME-recognized programming remain the dominant accreditation pathways for any voluntary or hospital-credentialing CME a CT DPM completes — and would be the relevant currency if the Board imposes CE requirements on a discretionary reinstatement basis after a license lapse.
Are there mandatory CE topics for DPM renewal in Connecticut?
No. There is no state-imposed CE topic for Connecticut DPMs because there is no CE requirement at all. The federal MATE Act adds a one-time 8-hour SUD training for DEA-registered podiatrists — that is a federal overlay, not a Connecticut requirement.
Where can I check my Connecticut podiatry license renewal date?
The Connecticut DPH eLicense lookup at elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx displays current status, expiration date, and disciplinary history for every Connecticut licensee, including DPMs. Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 19a-88(b), Connecticut podiatry licenses renew annually during the month of the licensee's birth, so the expiration shown will fall in your birth month. The Podiatry Licensure page at portal.ct.gov/dph/practitioner-licensing--investigations/podiatry/podiatry-licensure also links to renewal information.
