The American Psychiatric Association (APA) provides educational programs
to assist APA member and non-member psychiatrists at all levels of their
profession. These services are designed to advance clinical and practice
management skills and promote quality patient care.

Brief companion exams are created for three of the most influential articles from each issue. By reading the articles and completing the online exams, you can test your knowledge and earn up to 1 CME credit per article. Correct answers are highlighted for your reference upon completion of the course.

The Self-Assessments are self-paced, online examinations that allow you to evaluate your mastery of the subject matter as you progress through the companion American Psychiatric Publishing Textbooks. Participants earn continuing medical education (CME) credits for reviewing the companion Textbook, assessing their retention of the clinical content by taking the self-assessment exam, and further increasing their clinical knowledge by reviewing the rationale for the correct answers. The Answer Guide references relevant text, tables, and figures in the Textbook to allow quick access to needed information. Each answer is accompanied by a discussion that addresses not only the correct response but also explains why other responses are not correct.
