CPME PUBLICATIONS 220 AND 230 REWRITE UPDATE (SPECIALTY BOARD RECOGNITION COMMITTEE)
At the Council’s October 2024 meeting, the Council reviewed the survey results and letters submitted by the community of interest concerning draft I of CPME 220, Criteria and Guidelines for Recognition of a Specialty Board for Podiatric Medical Practice, and CPME 230, Procedures for Recognition of a Specialty Board for Podiatric Medical Practice. Due to the volume of comments submitted, the Council continued their review of the comments in the fall and met via videoconference on December 11, 2024, to discuss the next steps. The Council asked to meet with the executive committee of the APMA BOT to discuss a path forward as the Specialty Board Recognition Committee or SBRC is now a separate committee and not a joint committee with APMA when it was known as the Joint Committee on the Recognition of Specialty Boards or JCRSB. This meeting took place on January 20, 2025, and the APMA BOT executive committee asked for additional time as the next steps are determined. As more information becomes available, the community of interest will be notified with updates posted on the CPME website. For now, the October 2019 versions of CPME 220 and CPME 230 are in effect.
