How do I earn ACPE credit during Virtual CPNP 2020?
Virtual CPNP 2020 is a hybrid event with some of the sessions presented live during webinar from April 27-May 1 and some pre-recorded and launched on April 27. For sessions presented via live webinar during April 27-May 1, participants can earn Live ACPE credit (L code) by completing individual session evaluations no later than May 7. After May 7, Live credit will no longer be available. Instead, the recordings of all live webinars will be posted online and courses then become home-study credit per ACPE guidance (H code). Home-study activities can provide credit until April 26, 2022.
For pre-recorded presentations launched on April 27, 2020, Home-study credit will be available April 27. Credit can be obtained by successfully completing a short exam and evaluation. Credit will be available until April 26, 2022.
Recording of sessions during Virtual CPNP 2020 is strictly prohibited. No individual or entity--including the presenting author--may electronically record or broadcast any portion of the Virtual CPNP 2020 Annual Meeting. Session recordings will become available for attendees on May 8 and can be accessed from the course pages for each session*.
* Full Recovery from Schizophrenia and Homelessness by Bethany Yeiser will not be recorded per the speaker’s contract.
How do I earn BCPP Recertification credit?
To earn BCPP Recertification credit, attendees must additionally purchase the
Clinical Application Series and successfully complete an online examination by October 27, 2020 for the 5 sessions prepared by the Recertification Editorial Board. The 5 BCPP recertification sessions will be presented via live webinar April 27-May 1 and then converted to home-study activities after May 7. The Clinical Application Series BCPP recertification exam is separate from any examinations or evaluations that are completed for any live or pre-recorded presentations launched during Virtual CPNP 2020.
