Continuing Education Credit

ACPE Credit

The American Association of Psychiatric Pharmacists (AAPP) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. Summit 2023 will provide up to 10 contact hours of application-based continuing education credit from AAPP approved programming.

To earn credit, participants must participate, verify their attendance at the programming, and complete evaluations and self-assessment questions. AAPP reports to CPE Monitor within days of evaluation completion and provides transcripts online at aapp.org. CPE Monitor does not accept ACPE credit submissions after 60 days making timely completion essential.

BCPP Recertification Credit 

The Summit is approved for 10 hours of BCPP recertification credit. To earn BCPP recertification credit, participants must register for this option, participate either live or in the enduring, complete evaluations, and successfully pass a 40 question application-level receritifcation examination at a cut-off score yet to be determined by a panel of experts. The exam must be completed by July 12, 2024. BCPP recertifiers can purchase the Summit and participate either live on October 12-13 and/or via the enduring/recorded offering available immediately after the event or via a combination of live and enduring.

AAPP reports continuing credit for ACPE (CPE Monitor) and BCPP Recertification (BPS) within days of successful exam completion.

What if the live stream or a session recording fails?

Thanks to careful planning and vendor selection, AAPP anticipates that AAPP sessions presented virtually for the AAPP Summit will be successfully transmitted to the virtual audience and available as a recording for home-study within 2-4 weeks after the event (unless otherwise noted).

In the unlikely event of a recording failure, AAPP will attempt to re-record session(s) for attendee viewing within 3 months of the event. As long as 75% of AAPP-planned educational session recordings are provided for home-study within 3 months of the event, refunds will not be issued to registrants related to live transmission problems, recording problems, or attendee-specific problems accessing the sessions.

In the unlikely event of transmission failure of industry supported events or non-CE activities (i.e., an industry symposium), refunds will not be offered.
