Lifelong Learning

The ACLP Lifelong Learning Subcommittee is committed to facilitating both lifelong learning and maintenance of certification to practice C-L Psychiatry. With that in mind, the subcommittee is creating resources to reach these goals:

Virtual Journal Club:
ACLP Virtual Journal Club sessions are held every two months and focus on articles from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology’s (ABPN’s) Article-Based Continuing Certification pathway for C-L Psychiatry. All sessions are recorded and available at the links below:

Performance in Practice (PIP) Tools
The maintenance of certification (MOC) program developed by the ABPN includes 4 components, one of which calls for demonstrating improvement in medical practice (performance in practice [PIP]). Below please find two tools, both of which have been approved by the ABPN for use by the membership of the ACLP.

Monitoring for side effects of antipsychotic medications (valid through December 31, 2027)
Evaluation for substance use disorders (valid through July 31, 2027
Guide to Maintenance of Certification (this resource provides a summary of the publicly available information to better understand the ABPN requirements, subject to change, consult ABPN directly for the latest information)

Self-Assessment CME
The Lifelong Learning Subcommittee reviews and creates the annual meeting self-assessment to provide the valuable SA-CME.
