As part of the 10-year Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program developed by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), child and adolescent psychiatrists must obtain continuing medical education (CME) credits to remain board certified. This lifelong learning component of MOC requires a total of 300 credit hours in the 10-year cycle, with the recommendation of 30 hours of CME credit a year. This requirement is phased-in over the next few years. Click here for the ABPN’s phase-in schedule for MOC requirements.
The AACAP’s Lifelong Learning modules are great resources as they satisfy the lifelong learning and self-assessment components. For information on the CME requirements for MOC and AACAP’s modules click here or call Elizabeth Hughes, Assistant Director of Education and Recertification, at 202.966.7300 ext. 106.
