Educational Grants Allow Diplomates Access to CME Resources from Select Professional Societies
Again in 2021-22, the ABPN is pleased to announce that all ABPN diplomates, regardless of areas of subspecialty certification or society membership, will now have access to additional self-assessment and CME options from select professional societies at either typical member pricing or at no cost.

Through unrestricted educational grants from the ABPN, the following societies have posted or will post additional information on how diplomates can access these activities in order to earn additional credits. Diplomates can also visit the individual society website directly.

If needed for access to the self-assessment and CME options listed below, diplomates can find their certificate number within the ABPN verifyCERT® database system.

ABPN Extends Board Eligibility Policy and Virtual Clinical Skills Evaluations Through June 30, 2022
Due to ongoing issues with in-person clinical experiences at residency training programs, the ABPN has decided to extend its current board eligibility policy through June 30, 2022. Program Directors can be assured that the Board will continue to follow their lead with respect to whether or not a particular resident has completed the specific training needed for graduation. The ABPN will continue to be flexible with respect to senior residents as long as the Program Director agrees.

In addition, through June 30, 2022, the ABPN will continue to accept virtual CSEs completed via a remote conferencing platform such as Zoom for all psychiatry and neurology residents as part of the credentialing requirements to sit for an ABPN initial certification exam.

Programs can enter resident information, including CSEs, into the ABPN preCERT® Credentialing System. We ask that Program Directors please use the preCERT notes section to designate virtual CSEs.

See the original board eligibility and virtual clinical skills evaluations announcements for more information. If you have additional questions, please contact our credentials department at credentials@abpn.com.

ABPN Grants Allow Diplomates Complimentary Access to both CME and Self-Assessment Credits and Specialty Specific Patient Registries
Again in 2021, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the ABPN have collaborated, through an unrestricted educational grant from the ABPN, to provide diplomates with complimentary programming to satisfy ABPN Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Self-Assessment CME activity requirements and provide access to a patient registry.

Later in 2021, APA will provide access to 10 select sessions from the APA Annual Meeting, including an ABPN CC/MOC program update by ABPN Psychiatry Directors, Drs. Joan Anzia and Robert Boland. Sessions will be accessible in the APA Learning Center at http://education.psychiatry.org.
The 2021 APA Annual Meeting Self-Assessment in Psychiatry is available through December 31, 2021. Click here to learn more.
CME credit and access to select articles included in ABPN’s MOC Part III journal-based pilot project is also available. Click here to learn more.
The APA is offering access to PsychPRO, a qualified clinical data registry for all behavioral mental health providers. At this time, registration is complimentary for ABPN diplomates who are also APA members. Non-APA members are welcome to join at the physician rate.

The ABPN will also collaborate again in 2021 with the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), through a grant from the ABPN, to provide diplomates with complimentary access to AAN programming.

The AAN will offer non-member ABPN diplomates free access to the latest edition of NeuroSAE (14th Edition).
The AAN will provide to all AAN members and non-AAN member ABPN diplomates free access to the 2020 Fall Conference on Demand. The curriculum for the Conference is built on preparation for the ABPN Continuing Certification/MOC exam. Access will be available starting June 7th.
Current AAN members will receive a separate email from the AAN with additional details. AAN members should log in to the Online Learning Center with their AAN ID or associated email address to access education programs. ABPN diplomates who are not members of the Academy can also gain access to this programming. Click here to learn more.
AAN’s Axon Registry® is a neurology-specific patient registry that collects, reports, and analyzes real-world Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. The AAN is enrolling practices in the Axon Registry. Visit the AAN website to learn more.

By participating in PsychPRO or the Axon Registry, ABPN diplomates may meet their PIP Clinical Module activity requirement and waive eight credits for Self-Assessment CME.

For more information on ABPN Self-Assessment credit or PIP Clinical Module credit from an approved registry, please visit our website.
