What the goldfarb foundation does

The William L. Goldfarb Foundation, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, is a nonprofit educational organization that provides continuing medical education (CME) and board certification preparation exclusively for podiatric medicine professionals. Its core offerings span a multi-modal ecosystem: the ProSeries bundled study tool (with ResidentPro for residents and DoctorPro for practicing podiatrists), a CPME-approved Online Lecture Library covering 30+ podiatry topics, the 13th Edition Board Review Study Guide in eBook, hard copy, and bundle formats, in-person CME Meetings (Montana Meeting, Clinical Conference, LESS CHAOS: PHL, Region Three), and a Virtual Board Review Course. All content is CPME-approved, giving the CE Contact Hours portability required for state license renewal.

Underlying delivery relies on a web-based e-learning platform with video streaming, integration with the third-party Learnio learning platform for ProSeries access, and proprietary study materials including the ProStep Boards question bank software and the 13th Edition Study Guide eBook. Users authenticate via Google OAuth on the Goldfarb site and receive ProSeries credentials directly from Learnio. The Foundation has operated for over 50 years and is closely affiliated with the Pennsylvania Podiatric Medical Association (PPMA), with operational email ([email protected]) and contact numbers hosted on PPMA infrastructure.

Revenue is generated entirely through direct-to-consumer e-commerce on goldfarbfoundation.org: one-time lecture purchases ($15–$67.50 with 30-day access), one-time Study Guide sales ($300 eBook / $360 hard copy / $460 bundle), 12-month ProSeries subscriptions ($895 single user up to $7,000 with volume discounts for residency programs), and CME event registrations (12–28 CE Contact Hours per in-person event). All sales are final with no refunds. Distribution is global online, with physical event delivery concentrated in the United States, primarily in Pennsylvania and regional destinations.
