Education at Your Fingertips:
Self-Study Resources
AAHPM was awarded accreditation with commendation as a provider of CME for physicians by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through November 30, 2021.
Although our live meetings and courses offer the opportunity for intensive, engaging education alongside your peers and delivered by subject matter experts, we imagine most of your learning occurs out of the classroom. We continuously review, revise, and create high-quality educational resources you can access when and where you live and workâon your time, in your location.
