Council on Podiatric Medical Education

The Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) is an organization that oversees the accreditation of podiatric medical schools and residency programs in the United States. Its primary role is to ensure that educational institutions meet established standards for training future podiatrists, who specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions of the feet, ankles, and lower extremities. By maintaining these standards, CPME helps ensure that podiatric students receive a high-quality education, which ultimately benefits patients seeking care from qualified professionals in the field of podiatry.
