ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS: Included with your course package is access to hundreds of multiple-choice Child & Adolescent Psychiatry board-style questions.

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Course Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is It Likely that My Employer Will Cover My Tuition?

      You may be surprised at how many residency and fellowship training programs, group practices, and other employers pay for or reimburse you for Category 1 educational activities. So it is really worth asking your training director, medical director or administrator if you are eligible. Some training programs and employers will also pay for board exam training. Remember that it is in everyone’s interest to have you achieve board certification status. And, if you work for the Federal Government, we are a certified business in the CCR database and can accept government checks and credit cards.

  • What Differentiates You from Other Courses?

      There are three main differences. 1) Our course isn’t just a general review – it’s tailored specifically to the topics and approaches you need to know to pass your exam. 2) Our course is a full preparation system – you get hundreds of MCQs, live course attendance, online lecture review, mobile lecture review, and a hard copy of the course notes. 3) We show our confidence in our courses and our dedication to your success with our Triple-Trust Guarantee – if you don’t pass your exam, you get your money back, plus $500, plus you get to retake the course for free until you do pass.

  • Who Is Sponsoring This Course?

      The course is being produced by the American Physician Institute. We have produced hundreds of courses and we train thousands of physicians each year to pass their boards and to remain up to date in their field. Company-wide, every single one of our educational courses comes with a great guarantee, has full editorial independence, and is free of pharmaceutical and industry sponsorship.

  • Who Is Putting This Course Together?

      American Physician Institute has an extensive medical editorial staff that works with hundreds of physician-experts every year as our faculty. Because of its reputation for excellence, American Physician Institute is able to get many of the best medical experts from the best universities in the country to provide you with Category 1 CME educational activities.

  • Do I Receive Online Access To Course Material?

      Yes. When you register for either the live or home study course you receive password-restricted access to your individual online dashboard that consolidates all your online course resources: streaming webinars of every course lecture, the multiple choice question quizzes, and any additional course handouts.


      To make your review more convenient, you receive two types of access to course lectures: 1) streaming webinars on the computer, and 2) as streaming video specially formatted for your mobile device (available on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and on Android devices).

  • How Do I Access My Online Materials?

      After you are registered, you will receive an email providing you with a username, password, and link to your online dashboard. From that dashboard you can access all your webinars, quizzes and study materials.

  • When Do I Get My Home Study Online Access/Materials?

      If you are ordering materials for a course that has already occurred, you will receive online access within one business day, and your written materials will ship via UPS at that same time. For upcoming courses, you will receive access by the start of the live course, since it will be the lectures from that course that will be videotaped for online access. This ensures that the lecture material is as fresh as possible. If you would like to start studying sooner, you can order the previous year’s home study, available immediately, for a small additional investment.

  • Do I Get Online Access If I Attend The Live Course?

      Yes. Live course attendees also receive access to online lectures that they can review after the course, viewable via streaming webinar or on your mobile device.

  • When Will I Receive My Course Binders?

      If you attend our live course, you will receive binders at the course. If you have ordered a home study, binders are shipped via UPS either on the first day of the live course, or, if the course has already occurred, within one business day of your order. Expedited shipping options are also available at the time of purchase.

  • Are Lectures Available On CD Or DVD?

      Lectures are only viewable with online access. You can view lectures as streaming webinars on your PC, or on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Android device with an internet connection. Viewing our webinars is a simple as clicking the lecture you would like to watch.

  • Can I View Lectures On My Smart Phone?

      Yes. Mobile lectures are compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Android 2.1 devices.

  • Can I View Lectures On My Apple Computer?

      Yes. Webinars are compatible with Apple computers. The webinar viewer will prompt you to download and install the program Silverlight, which allows the lectures and the slides to be viewed side-by-side.

  • How Long Do I Have Access to My Online Materials?

      Online materials are available to you up to the date of the next exam. If you are scheduled to take an exam in a future year, please let us know and we can program online access up to the date of your exam. Also, if your exam is not this year, we offer you the option to upgrade to the next year’s live or home study course for a small additional investment.


      Also, if you do not pass your exam after taking our course, you receive free access to the next year’s materials, per the terms of our guarantee.

  • How Do I Get My CME Credits?

      After viewing all the course lectures, you can claim your CME credit by completing the course’s online CME Evaluation. Upon completion of the evaluation you will be sent both a hard copy of your certificate in the mail and a digital copy in an email. The evaluation is located on your Course Dashboard under the “CME Evaluation” button. Simply click the link and then fill in the provided password when prompted.


      Access to the “Online Dashboard” will have been provided in an email before the course- if you need this access information re-sent or other assistance let us know.


      Note: The CME Evaluation will not be posted online until the last day of the live course.

  • Does the Home Study Course Come With CME?

      Yes. The home study course has all the same great features as the live, including CME credits.

  • Does the Home Study Course Come With The Triple Trust Guarantee?

      Yes, it does!

  • I’ve Never Heard of a Guarantee As Good As Yours. Is It For Real?

      Yes, of course, it is. But because it is so outrageous, we don’t blame you for being a little sceptical.


      When you register for the course you receive a registration packet with your course information that includes the description of the Triple Trust Guarantee. So you have the guarantee spelled out black on white. And, of course, we’ve always honored our guarantees and always will.


      Why do we have such a guarantee when no other company does? We could probably have a successful business without offering such a guarantee, but we don’t want to. We believe that with us you invest in exam success. If you don’t achieve success, then neither do we. In fact, we pay a penalty since if you don’t pass, we pay you more than you paid us, plus give you a repeat of the course until you pass. This guarantee keeps us honest – we don’t get paid for effort, only for results.

  • Can I Get a Discount For The Course Tuition?

      To keep things fair, everyone registering for the course at the same time pays the same amount. (Sometimes, early bird discounts will be in effect.) Also, please read the next question about the Ambassador Club.

  • What Is the Ambassador Club?

      When you register for any American Physician Institute course you automatically become a member of the Ambassador Club. As a member, whenever you refer a colleague, they receive a $52 course discount and you receive a $52 check. Why? Because by spreading the good word about our courses to your colleagues, you save us advertising dollars. We spend on average $104 in advertising costs for each doctor who attends one of our courses. We thought it only fair to share that savings with you. So we split the $104 and give the referrer and the referred each $52. You can refer as many colleagues without limit for this discount / reimbursement.


      How does it work? Easy. When registering (by phone) your colleague simply has to provide your name as the referring doctor and they get their discount and you get your check mailed to you.


 
To register, or for additional questions or concerns, please call our office at 877-225-8384.
