Registration for the 30th National Psychopharmacology Update allows you to take the Self-Assessment Exam for free. This Self-Assessment exam will allow board-certified individuals to apply the 24.00 CME credits available for the Psychopharmacology Update to the ABPN requirement for Self-Assessment activities. The exam consists of a 25 question online examination designed to help assess your level of knowledge regarding current psychiatric practice and psychopharmacology. The exam will be available until May 16, 2025.
