Looking for free self assessment CMEs

[deleted310399]

Hey guys ,

Can anyone tell me where to find some SA CMEs to satisfy ABPN requirements that I don't have to pay for ?

Thanks.

One of the ones I use is Medscape (https://www.medscape.org/psychiatry), which I joined for free some time ago but I'd be interested in others.

I have a subscription to Psych CPD (CPD Online) as part of my Australian college registration. It does have some free trial modules but can't comment on whether it would be approved for ABPN.

Last year was the end of my 3-year MOC cycle, and I needed SA credits. I looked on Medscape, but there didn't seem to be any SA credits, just regular CME credits. I wound up having to pay for stuff.

And this division of SA vs routine CME partly raises my suspicion of profiteering in the CME/MOC industry. I've not noticed anything of real difference about SA other than being harder to find, and usually more expensive.

The MOC system is frustrating, of no utility and I look forward to its collapse as a failed experiment of academia.

A real world SA would be to address the very real issue of burn out. Do a self assessment of burn out severity, and if high, what will you do to improve it, or if low, how will you keep it low. That is a self assessment the profession needs.

PIPE - The American College of Psychiatrists
Not free, but cheaper than traveling to a conference, (only $249, reimbursable if you have an employer that offers CME allowance) and -- BONUS! -- allows you reminisce about the good old days of taking PRITE! 😀

Thanks a lot .

I do however second an earlier poster's assertion about profiteering . It is unfortunate that after paying a decent sum of money to the AMA , APA and my state's Psychiatric association , I have to pay some more to find SA CME credits .

Uptodate ( thankfully ) satisfies the non SA CME requirement.
