The PRESENT Podiatry Online Lecture Hall was a very busy place this year. Our members viewed more lectures than ever before and earned more CME than ever. In the coming months, we will be introducing a new and improved edition of PRESENT Podiatry Online Board Review and special state-specific packages of lectures just the right size and priced at a discount for you to earn the exact amount of CME that each of your states allows you to earn online. PRESENT Podiatry has been your best source for online Podiatry CME since 2005 and we continue to develop ways to make the task of earning our CME as convenient, inexpensive, and as educationally enriching as it can be.
