title: CCPM and podiatric medical education. Preparing for the 21st century.
abstract: There are many changes on the horizon that will affect how we teach the future practitioners of podiatric medicine. The author describes the processes undertaken to date at the California College of Podiatric Medicine (CCPM), as well as the vision of tomorrow, for podiatric medical education. The educational system that will result from these changes will be more efficient; it will better meet the needs of students; and, it will broaden their base of knowledge, all to improve care given to the patient.
