For Podiatrists, 40 hours is the total CME requirement. New Hampshire also requires a set of one-time topics that count toward the 40-hour total.
“Licensees with DEA numbers must complete 3 hours in pain management, addiction disorders, or combination thereof, counting toward the 40-hour total.”
Credit must come from an organization accredited by the ACCME, AMA, New Hampshire Medical Association, or AAFP. ACGME residency or fellowship time accrues toward the requirement. Teaching or presenting accredited CME can satisfy a portion of required hours.
