AACAP's Self-Assessment CME Resources

Lifelong Learning Modules

Lifelong Learning Modules are one way in which AACAP aids members in the re-certification process. Each module consists of approximately 35 journal articles, chosen by the Lifelong Learning Committee, that serve to educate individuals on important topics in child and adolescent psychiatry. Included in each module is a pre- and post-test that allows individuals to earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ that have been ABPN-approved to meet both CME and self-assessment requirements. Please click on the links below for a list of articles that are featured in each module.

Mid-Year and Annual Meeting Self-Assessment Workshops
These workshops allow participants to engage in live multiple choice question-based discussions lead by expert clinicians. These workshops will also let participants document strengths in specific practice areas, identify opportunities for improvement, and focus on goals and form a framework for a professional development plan, all while earning ABPN-approved SACME and CME credit.
