Course Objectives
The AACAP's 33rd Annual Review Course emphasizes material relevant to the child and adolescent board certification examination and serves as an up-to-date review of child and adolescent psychiatry. The course is designed to prepare those studying for the written and oral child and adolescent specialty examinations and to update practitioners on state-of-the-art standards. On Wednesday through Friday, April 2-4, the Review Course features lectures and discussion. A half day session on Saturday, April 5 is devoted to simulation exercises, in small groups, for the oral examination of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. (Please note that this Training Session is offered at a separate registration fee.)
