What is AACAP doing for its members to assist with the self-assessment and CME requirements?
To assist members in demonstrating the lifelong learning requirement as well as preparing for the cognitive examination, the AACAP Work Group on Lifelong Learning prepared educational opportunities targeted to those engaged in the maintenance of certification effort.

Educational opportunities provided by AACAP to help you fulfill these self-assessment and CME requirements include: 

• Lifelong Learning Modules
  • A series of lifelong learning modules developed each year over a 10-year period on specific disorders. Each module includes relevant literature on targeted topics in child and adolescent psychiatry and seminal articles on the latest research in the field. It also includes a self-assessment exam on the topics covered for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
