Free Self-Assessment Tool Will Help You Plan Meeting Schedule, Earn Credit

APA has developed an educational activity—the 2013 APA Annual Meeting Self-Assessment in Psychiatry—to help meeting registrants create an individualized schedule of sessions to attend at APA’s annual meeting in San Francisco. The self-assessment is a 100-question examination that tests areas of psychiatric practice covered in the ABPN content outline for the recertification exam and includes material related to APA practice guidelines and the core competencies of medical knowledge, patient care, interpersonal communication skills, systems-based practice, and professionalism. Participants can earn up to 8 hours of AMA/PRA Category 1 credit and fulfill a self-assessment component of the maintenance of certification process. Meeting registrants will be auto-enrolled and told how to access the self-assessment by e-mail. ■
