The American Society for Adolescent Psychiatry sponsors board recertification in Adolescent & Young Adult Psychiatry overseen and administered by the American Board of Adolescent Psychiatry (ABAP). 

​

Recertification Requirements (download instructions)

If you are currently certified through the American Board of Adolescent Psychiatry (ABAP), you must submit a full recertification packet (download checklist before proceeding).  The packet MUST include the following:

​

• Recertification Application (online only)

• Documentation of 10 hours of Category 1 CME credit per year (for last 5 or 10 years of certification) specifically in child/adolescent psychiatry (unless submitted annually) and ALL MOC fees are paid.

• Case Report

• Copy of current medical license

• Proof of active board certification in general or child/adolescent psychiatry by either ABPN or the Royal College of Medicine in Canada

• Curriculum Vitae (CV)

• Documentation of membership or eligibility for membership in APA or CPA (if applicable). 

 

Submitted your online application with the above requirements?  NEXT, go to the payments page under "Recertification Fees" and select the appropriate payment.  Remember, if you're a current ASAP member in good standing (current year's dues paid), you're eligible for a 25% discount on the recertification fee).  ALSO, starting with 2019, if you're an ASAP member in good standing, MOC fees are waived; however, prior years' fees must be paid and proof may be required to verify.  Below is more information on the recertification process.
