Podiatrists are responsible for retaining CME documentation and producing it on request. Requirements include course title, dates, hours, sponsoring organization, and accrediting body.
First-licensure exemption — podiatrist is not required to complete CE for the year in which the initial license is issued. If licensed in the first licensure year, 15 hours are required for the first renewal; if licensed in the second licensure year, 0 hours are required for the first renewal.
Atlas CME tracks your hours, maps them to your state requirements, and reminds you before your renewal date.
Every mandatory topic and conditional requirement above cites the underlying statute or rule. Numbered references below correspond to the bracketed citations next to each requirement.
“A licensee who renews a license as a podiatrist shall complete no less than thirty (30) hours of continuing podiatric medical education in courses or programs approved by any of the approved sponsors in each two (2) year renewal period.”
