The Integrative Psychiatry Program
What is included in the Psychiatry Redefined Fellowship?
The Fellowship program includes the following components:
- Unlimited access to all courses and educational material for two years
- 60+ CME credits for accredited courses (optional)
- 40+ CE credits for accredited courses (optional)
- 250+ hours of educational content
- Twice-monthly Group Supervisions with faculty Q&A (24 sessions total held within first year)
- Dedicated faculty office hours each month for first year of study (3hrs+ monthly)
- 2-year membership in the private Psychiatry Redefined Fellow Listserv
- Complimentary access to all Psychiatry Redefined educational events (conference, seminars, etc) in first year of study
How long does each Fellowship session run?
The Fellowship is a two-year program (24 full months), but Fellows may proceed through curriculum at their own pace during this period.
Each Fellowship Cohort is given two years of access to all Psychiatry Redefined curriculum, special lectures, webinars, and educational content in our learning system, along with two years of access to the private Fellow Listserv for invaluable and ongoing fellow-faculty-peer discussions.
We consider the first year of study (first 12 months of each cohort) to be significant, as the majority of the interactive faculty mentorship and hands-on learning takes place during this time. All Group Supervisions and faculty office hours for each cohort take place within the first year of study. Additionally, all conferences and educational events are provided for free to Fellows in this first year. In the second year of study, Fellows are typically provided generous alumni discounts for all upcoming programs, seminars and special events.
What is the time commitment?
This Integrative Psychiatry fellowship is self-paced; the more time put in, the more you learn. The average time commitment is 6-8 hours per month. Each month we suggest taking the monthly courses listed in the syllabus and completing the recommended readings, along with the related talks, webinars and special lectures listed. Group supervisions (1 hr each) are held twice-monthly and correspond with your monthly curriculum. We encourage all Fellows to attend these supervisions live, but all group supervisions are recorded and saved in your student account for later viewing.
There is a minimum of 3 hours per month of faculty contact, 2 hours of group supervisions, 1 hour of office hours, and additional bonus lectures organized around special topics and/or special faculty.
Can I work through the program at my own pace?
The Psychiatry Redefined Fellowship blends self-paced, self-directed study with guided Group Supervision and training led by Dr. James Greenblatt and renowned faculty. You can watch online course lectures and review course materials immediately upon enrollment, and at your own pace over a two-year period of study.
Group Supervisions (live sessions conducted via Zoom with faculty) follow a monthly schedule, with each month dedicated to a different course and topic. These topics differ between the Winter and Summer Cohorts (groups). We recommend that Fellows join as many Group Supervisions (similar to clinical rounds) as they can, so they get the most out of the real-time Q&A with Dr. Greenblatt and faculty.
That said, attendance at all live supervision sessions is not a requirement. If you are unable to join a given Supervision you can access each session recording later via your Learning Management System (LMS) student dashboard.
Are you able to incorporate functional medicine into your practice easily and are patients receptive?
Many clinicians integrate functional and integrative medicine approaches slowly into their patient’s treatment, as they learn and on an ongoing basis. It is a learning curve. There is a team of collaborative and supportive peers always willing to help as you implement what you learn into practice, and willing to discuss treatment plans for real patient cases. Most clinicians report that even small changes have a huge impact on their patients. Thus, we also hear that most patients are receptive and welcoming of the direction and more importantly, they finally feel relief.
Do I have to listen to lectures in a specific order?
While not a requirement, it is recommended that Fellows proceed through core Fellowship courses in the order that corresponds to monthly syllabus and schedules for their specific Winter or Summer Cohort program. Each cohort follows a slightly different schedule, so please refer to your syllabus for your cohort’s monthly curriculum.
Is this a certified program?
Psychiatry Redefined’s Fellowship program is not certified by any academic organization. Our educational content is accredited, but we do not provide a certification title following program completion. There is a certification completion with a diploma that is provided at the end of the fellowship. More information on diplomas can be found below.
Are there any required components of the program?
Completion of all courses and course content listed are required in order to claim eligibility to receive a program completion certificate/diploma and (optional) inclusion in the PR Provider Directory.
- Fellows have either one year or two years of access to all courses and course materials; fulfillment of these completion requirements may be claimed anytime during the chosen term of study.
- Completing all courses of the Core Curriculum and claiming eligibility for a diploma is entirely optional.
- Upon completion of these required components, you may request a Completion Review to obtain your diploma. To learn more about this process, please review the questions listed under our Program Completion/Diploma FAQs section below.
What are the optional components of the program?
The following components of the Professional Fellowship program are optional adjuncts to learning available to all program registrants.
While not required to claim program completion or receive the Psychiatry Redefined Professional Fellowship Diploma, they represent valuable opportunities to expand and enhance knowledge. Thus, we strongly encourage all Fellows to watch and/or participate in the following:

This generally includes new courses* added to the course library during their term of enrollment. (*Unless not approved for the Fellowship.)
- Past and upcoming webinars, special lectures, educational conference recordings (unless otherwise outlined as Core Curriculum)
- Past Group Supervision recordings
- 2-year membership in the PR Listserv: The Listserv provides Fellows with an open forum wherein they may connect with peers from around the world, engage in discussions, ask questions of their peers and PR Faculty, and present cases. Many Fellows convey that the perspectives and knowledge they have gained through the participation in the Listserv represents an invaluable component of their overall Fellowship learning experience.
- Complimentary registration to any online Psychiatry Redefined event (conferences, symposiums, seminars): Dedicated to the advancement of functional psychiatry, Psychiatry Redefined regularly hosts scientific conferences involving experts from various fields. Fellows are eligible for complimentary registration to any PR event during their first year of study.
Do I need to pass tests along the way?
Not necessarily. You only need to complete and pass tests if you wish to obtain CME or CE credits for accredited courses. Only accredited courses have tests. If you do not plan to report any CME or CE credits, then testing is not required for any component of the Fellowship.
If you will be claiming CMEs or CEs, please review the information provided in the CME/CE section of these FAQs.
Will I receive a diploma upon completion of the program?
Fellows who complete all modules of all required courses (comprising the Core Curriculum) are eligible to receive a diploma of program completion. For more information on program completion, certificates and diplomas, please see the Program Completion/Diploma FAQ section below.
How do I communicate with other Fellows in the program?
All registered Fellows will be included in the Fellowship Listserv, through which they may participate in ongoing group discussions. The Listserv establishes a forum through which Fellows can present cases, ask questions, and engage in peer- and faculty-led discussions tol foster growth and education. Participation in Listserv discussions, while not mandatory, is strongly recommended, as it allows for dynamic engagement with like-minded peers and our founder, Dr. Greenblatt.
PLEASE NOTE: Fellows who participate in forum discussions via the Listserv are solely responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy and Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws, along with our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.
Will I be able to present and discuss questions from real clinical cases?
Yes! The Professional Fellowship is not only an educational experience, but a collaborative one. Learning how to apply your knowledge in real-life clinical contexts and improve patient outcomes is part of our guiding principles. Fellows are encouraged to present clinical cases for discussion, to stimulate group discourse and glean valuable insights from Dr. Greenblatt.
- Peer Listserv: We encourage Fellows to present clinical cases for group review, weigh-in on questions and topics, and ask specific questions about clinical cases via the Listserv peer forum. Dr. Greenblatt maintains active participation in this email forum, and will comment on cases presented therein.
- Group Supervisions: These live group sessions provide another opportunity to present clinical cases and ask questions. Q&A is built into the timetable for every Group Supervision, and the Faculty member leading the Supervision (Dr. Greenblatt) will answer questions pertaining to the topic at hand. Learn more about Group Supervisions.
- Submitting Questions: Questions may be submitted directly to the Faculty member moderating the Group Supervision via the Zoom tool. Alternatively, you may submit questions and/or cases ahead of time to Heather Getz at hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org, who will provide them to the relevant Faculty member leading the upcoming Supervision Q&A.
- Fellows who choose to submit patient data, test results, testing forms, and other documents should take care to redact or remove any and all potentially identifying information BEFORE submitting. Psychiatry Redefined is not responsible for the redaction of potentially identifying patient information from cases submitted by Fellows.
PLEASE NOTE: All Fellows who participate in forum discussions via the Listserv are solely responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy and Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws, along with our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.

How do I know if this functional psychiatry training program is right for me?
We understand that the Fellowship is a considerable investment of both time, money and resources. We want all Fellowship enrollees to feel comfortable with their decision to enroll. Thus, we invite all individuals considering the Fellowship to explore the program, read testimonials from past Fellows, learn about our esteemed faculty and founder, Dr. James Greenblatt.
We encourage those who are interested to check our our Intro to Functional & Integrative Psychiatry Training Program to get a better understanding of the curriculum. The Functional & Integrative Psychiatry Program provides a strong introductory foundation for mental health professionals with limited experience in functional, nutritional and integrative medicine. This unique learning program bridges concept and application in basic functional psychiatry, while also providing a launching point for those looking to pursue more advanced coursework or Fellowship training.
Additionally, Dr. Greenblatt offers complimentary discovery webinars and phone calls to anyone considering the Fellowship program. This is a unique opportunity for prospective registrants to learn about the program, and determine whether the Fellowship matches their professional needs.
Who is eligible to enroll?
The Psychiatry Redefined Professional Fellowship is intended for clinicians and other healthcare professionals who have advanced degrees in the medical sciences.
This program is typically ideal for the following advanced degrees: MDs, PsyDs, RNs, NPs, PAs, LPN, PMHNPs, PMHNP-bcs, LCSW, LPC, LMHC. Psychiatry Redefined also welcomes licensed acupuncturists (LAc), licensed/registered dieticians, and licensed herbalists and naturopaths (ND).
While being a direct healthcare provider is not a requirement, prospective registrants should note that this program is geared heavily towards the application of integrative and functional medicine principles, concepts, and approaches in clinical contexts.
Is the fellowship appropriate for psychotherapists?
The Fellowship training program is designed for mental health clinicians interested in nutritional metabolic medicine. It is geared towards those professions that can order testing as well as make recommendations for supplements. The vast majority of the fellows are physicians, nurse practitioners and naturopaths, though there are increasing numbers of dietitians and therapists who have found immense benefits in the educational content.
I am a student. Am I eligible to enroll?
Students in training to achieve any of the following qualifications (MD; RN; NP; PA; LPN; PMHNP; PMHNP-bcs; LCSW; LPC; LMHC; ND; LAc, licensed/registered dietician/nutritionist; certified herbalist) and/or an advanced degree in neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, nutrition, nutritional science, or related fields are welcome to enroll in the Professional Fellowship.
PLEASE NOTE: Some course content may be challenging for students who have not yet taken postgraduate-level coursework in topics such as cellular biology, neuroscience, biochemistry and metabolism. If you are unsure if the Fellowship is appropriate for you at this stage in your academic and/or clinical education, please email Heather Getz at fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org and we would be happy to answer questions and/or connect you with Dr. James Greenblatt.
Do I need to have prior Integrative or Functional Medicine Training?
Familiarity with the basic concepts of integrative and/or functional medicine will be helpful for those beginning the Professional Fellowship, but it is not a requirement. We welcome any and all healthcare professionals who seek to advance their standards of practice and participate in the evolution of modern psychiatry.
This program is for you if you wish to:
- Improve therapeutic outcomes for your patients
- Learn how to apply objective biologic measurement to create scientifically-informed, personalized treatment plans for your patients
- Master balance in practice
- Treat root causes, not just symptoms
- Embrace a vision for healthcare that integrates mind and body to cultivate lasting health
Is Fellowship training suitable and/or appropriate for international practitioners?
Yes! Our web-based Learning Management System permits access to online course materials from virtually any location, and we welcome healthcare professionals from around the world who are inspired to participate in the evolution of modern psychiatry.
After enrollment, when will course access be provided?
Access to our educational dashboard, the Learning Management System (LMS), will be provided in less than 48 hours after LMS registration and program enrollment. This system is where you will find all courses and material. A confirmation of payment and enrollment will be emailed to the address provided during enrollment. Please be sure to check your spam/junk folder for this email.
Once your enrollment and payment are processed, completing a Fellowship Questionnaire in our LMS is required before you can begin any study. This is available on your student dashboard.
I recently enrolled and I'm overwhelmed with all this new information; are there resources available to help me?
We appreciate that immersion into a novel program of study can occasionally be overwhelming, and that Fellows who may not have prior experience in functional medicine theory or application may initially feel a bit inundated.
Rest assured that there are multiple resources at your disposal to help ease you into your program of study:
- All newly enrolled Fellows are encouraged to attend a Fellowship Orientation/Meet & Greet webinar. These optional webinars are held at the beginning of each program, and intended to serve as an introductory guide to the program. Hosted by Dr. Greenblatt and/or other members of the PR Faculty, these Orientation webinars will review key components of the Fellowship, and provide ample time for open-forum Q&A. Details on these Zoom meetings will be provided via a private Fellows page.
- Discuss your concerns and questions with faculty during provided office hours
- Any questions you have may be posted for peer feedback and discussion in the Listserv forum.
- You may always submit questions via email to fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org.
Fellowship Group Supervisions
How do I join the Group Supervisions?
Group Supervisions are held mid-week, and each is generally at 8:00 pm EST (unless otherwise noted). A private webpage for Winter Fellows and Summer Fellows will be shared that contains Zoom links and dates/times for supervisions, special presentations, and more.
At the appropriate date and time, simply click the Zoom link to join the supervision webinar in real-time. In the event that faculty needs to reschedule a supervision, fellows will be emailed with the update and new date/time.
Please email Heather Getz at hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org if you need access to the private Fellow Zoom page.
When do Group Supervisions (peer & faculty discussions) begin?
Group Supervisions begin in July 2023 for the Summer 2023 Cohort. The Summer schedule can be found here and will also be available on a private page for Fellows.
Group Supervisions for the Winter 2024 Cohort will begin in January 2024. That monthly schedule will be available shortly.
Upon enrollment and the activation of your Psychiatry Redefined account, you will receive regular correspondence from the PR team about supervisions, along with a private Fellows Resources page with Zoom links, instrucitons and information for easy access.
For more information on enrollment and activation of your account, please see the Enrollment & Eligibility FAQ section below.
What is the difference between supervisions and office hours?
Group supervisions are offered twice a month with Dr. Greenblatt to review the monthly content outlined in the syllabus. Supervisions are typically a brief presentation by Dr. Greenblatt, followed by robust case discussion and an open Q&A with all fellows. These supervisions last about 1 hours, and are held live via Zoom. All supervisions are recorded so you can view them later in your student account.
Office hours are set up to provide more in-depth case discussion and guidance, and answer fellow questions on a 1:1 basis. Office hours feature Dr. Greenblatt along with faculty who have specific expertise coinciding with the monthly syllabus topic.
Is participation in the Group Supervision sessions mandatory? What if I cannot attend one of the Group Supervisions?
We recommend that Fellows join as many Group Supervisions (live sessions conducted via Zoom) as they can, so that they can get the most out of the real-time Q&A with Dr. Greenblatt. However, attendance at Group Supervision sessions is not a requirement, and if you are unable to join a given Supervision you will be able to access the session recording later via the our learning dashboard (LMS).
Please note: We work as quickly as possible to upload the latest Supervision recordings in a timely manner. We kindly ask for 7-10 days of post-production work before the latest supervision is available in your student dashboard/LMS. These are generally ready sooner, but we thank you for your patience!
I see "Recommended Readings" listed on the Syllabus; do I have to read these ahead of each Supervision?
As many of our Fellows enjoy delving deeper into various topics, we provide academic and professional articles to Fellows as optional adjuncts to learning. These are available upon login to the Learning Dashboard, found within each course and listed after all course modules (in the online course player).
These articles have been carefully selected such that they correspond with each month’s Core Curriculum course / Supervision topic, and invite a deeper understanding of the some of the concepts that will be presented during Supervisions.
These Recommended Readings, however, are not required for completion of the Fellowship, nor are they required for Supervision attendance and participation.
Will I be able to present and discuss questions from real clinical cases?
Yes! The Professional Fellowship is not only an educational experience, but a collaborative one. Learning how to apply your knowledge in real-life clinical contexts and improve patient outcomes is part of our guiding principles. Fellows are encouraged to present clinical cases for discussion, to stimulate group discourse and glean valuable insights from Dr. Greenblatt.
- Peer Listserv: We encourage Fellows to present clinical cases for group review, weigh-in on questions and topics, and ask specific questions about clinical cases via the Listserv peer forum. Dr. Greenblatt maintains active participation in this email forum, and will comment on cases presented therein.
- Group Supervisions: These live group sessions provide another opportunity to present clinical cases and ask questions. Q&A is built into the timetable for every Group Supervision, and the Faculty member leading the Supervision (Dr. Greenblatt) will answer questions pertaining to the topic at hand.
- Submitting Questions: Questions may be submitted directly to the Faculty member moderating the Group Supervision via the GoToWebinar tool. Alternatively, you may submit questions and/or cases ahead of time to Heather Getz at hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org, who will provide them to the relevant Faculty member leading the upcoming Supervision Q&A. Learn more about submitting cases and questions for Supervisions.
PLEASE NOTE: Fellows who participate in forum discussions via the Listserv are solely responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy and Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws, along with our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.
Do I need a Zoom account to join Group Supervisions?
A Zoom account is not required if you are joining a Zoom webinar meeting as a participant. For more details about the Zoom platform, please visit Zoom.us.
Can I ask questions or submit cases for members of the Faculty to discuss during Supervisions?
Yes, and we encourage Fellows to take advantage of the forum the Supervisions provide in terms of discussion, questions, and case presentations.
When first reminders are sent out to Fellows by the Fellowship coordinator, they will include an invitation to submit cases and/or questions by email in advance of the Supervision. Questions may be submitted in the body of an email to the Fellowship Coordinator.
For case presentations, patient information and/or test data may be submitted as attachments (text or scanned documents). Please DO NOT submit more than five separate attachments per case. Please read the following FAQ regarding case submission policies.
Please note: There is often a deadline imposed by the Fellowship coordinator for advance submission of questions or cases, to allow our team adequate time to prepare material for the Supervision. Email submissions of cases and questions are not accepted beyond this deadline. However, Fellows may still ask questions via the chat function on the Zoom video player application.
What do I need to know about submitting cases for discussion during Supervisions or on the Listserv?
All Fellows are SOLELY responsible for responsible for adhering to policies for Patient Privacy and Confidentiality in accordance with all relevant institutional, state, and federal laws as well as our Fellowship Terms & Conditions.
IMPORTANT: Fellows who choose to submit patient data, test results, testing forms, and other documents should take care to redact or remove any and all potentially identifying information BEFORE submitting. Psychiatry Redefined is not responsible for the redaction of potentially identifying patient information from cases submitted by Fellows.
How do I access recordings of previous Group Supervisions?

What happens if I miss the refund deadline?
Psychiatry Redefined does not offer refunds on Fellowship program fees after the refund deadline. However, we do understand that some registrants may need to pause their participation in the program due to circumstances beyond their control. For this reason, the Fellowship was created for optimal flexibility. The Psychiatry Redefined fellowship is a self-paced program with no firm deadlines on coursework. Combined with 24-7 online access from virtually any location, the program gives Fellows the opportunity to speed up, slow down, pause, or resume study at their own discretion. Once enrolled, you have full access to course materials for one (1) year, providing ample flexibility to work around any unexpected life events.
If unexpected life events make it necessary for you to pause your Fellowship training, let us know, and we’ll work with you to accommodate your needs in accordance with program Terms & Conditions.
What happens if I have to drop out of the program halfway through?
We take pride in providing each Fellow with a highly personalized learning experience, and want to ensure a successful education and journey. With twelve (12) months of 24/7 access to online courses and Group Supervisions, the Fellowship model was built to be accommodating to even the busiest healthcare professional. For example, if you miss a monthly course or Supervision, you can watch a recording of said session later at your convenience.
However, we do understand that some registrants may need to pause their participation in the program due to circumstances beyond their control. If unexpected circumstances require that you pause your Fellowship training, please let us know, and we’ll work with you to accommodate your needs in accordance with our program Terms & Conditions.
Can I opt-out of a course to receive a discount on the Fellowship program cost?
No. Our Professional Fellowship has been designed as an integrated educational program, blending web-based coursework, live Group Supervision and case consultation, and peer forum interactions, to provide Fellows with a comprehensive, progressive learning experience. Each component is intended to build upon previous coursework. For this reason, we do not allow Fellows to “opt out” of individual courses within the program.
For those who wish to customize their own learning experience or who may be interested in specific mental health topics, single educational courses are available for purchase.
I do not want to claim CME credits. Can I get a discount on CME-approved courses featured in the Fellowship?
Unfortunately, no. Obtaining CME or CE credit through this Fellowship is optional and determined by each participant. It is not required that you claim CME or CE credits for accredited courses.
If you do not want CME or CE credit, you are not required to complete the necessary certification components. If you wish to claim CME or CE credit for each accredited course, you will need to complete a course post-test and evaluation. Instructions for certification are available at the end of each accredited course.
Online Course Access & The Learning Dashboard (LMS)
How soon after I process payment will I have access to course material?
Your member account and login will be activated within 72 hours of registration, if not sooner. At that time you will have full access to all curriculum and online materials via our Learning Management System (LMS) dashboard.
I lost the LMS link. Where can I find the login to my student account?
You can access the Learning Management System (LMS) and your student dashboard here.
The LMS/course link is also listed on our website in the navy bar at the very top of your screen (link is far right).
Do I need any special software to access the Course Dashboard (LMS)?
No; all you need is a device with internet connectivity and a web browser.
Can I access course material at any time?
Yes. One of the benefits of our Learning Management System (LMS) is 24/7 access for 365 day, from virtually any location. Fellows can log into their member dashboard on the LMS from a PC, tablet, cell phone, or laptop, and continue their studies when most convenient for them.
What if I encounter technical difficulties with course access?
LMS access issues and other technical difficulties should be reported to Heather Getz at hgetz@psychiatryredefined.org.
Is there a way to maintain access to my student dashboard, course materials, and the Listserv after my term of study ends?
Yes! Fellows may extend their access to the PR Learning Dashboard (educational platform/LMS), and all courses and material for another year upon completion of the Fellowship program by purchasing the Extended Access Subscription. Fellows may extend their access to the PR Listserv for another year upon completion of the Fellowship program by purchasing an Annual Listserv Subscription.
Unless you purchased the two-year enrollment option, access to the the PR Fellowship material in the Learning Dashboard (the LMS educational platform) will expire within twelve months after the first month of your Fellowship program cohort. For example, if you enroll for the Summer 2023 Cohort, the program begins in July 2023 and will run for twelve months, concluding in June 2024.
Please email fellowship@psychiatryredefined.org for more information about these continuation options. Please note that these extended subscriptions are only available to those who have enrolled in the Fellowship.

*Participants should always check with their state’s licensure board regarding the acceptance of APA CE credits. If you are seeking continuing education credit for a specialty or location not listed above, it is your responsibility to contact your licensing/certification board to determine program eligibility. Partial credit for attendance of individual sessions is not available.
Do I have to claim and report CME or CE credit for accredited courses when participating in the Fellowship?
No; pursuing CME or CE credits for accredited courses is entirely optional.
You are not required to report credits to the ACCME or APA. However, credits claimed for each course are tracked and reported to the ACCME and APA annually, so it’s incumbent upon our fellows to report and claim hours accurately.
What entity is the designated CME and CE provider for Psychiatry Redefined?
The designated CME and CE provider for Psychiatry Redefined is: Comprehensive Psychiatric Resources, Inc.
Do I have to pass tests along the way?
If you intend to claim CME or CE credits for any of the accredited courses, you must complete, submit and score a passing grade for said course tests. The minimum passing grade for CME tests is 80% and for CE tests, it’s 75%. If you score below this grade on your first attempt, you may revisit the module lecture (with the online course player), then retake the quiz up to three times.
If you do not wish to claim CME or CE credits, then you do not need to pass each post-test. Remember: These quizzes are meant to reinforce knowledge gained in course lectures, and should be viewed as an adjunct to learning.
How do I fulfill CME or CE requirements for each accredited course?
In order to fulfill CME or CE requirements for each accredited course you must:
- Complete all module post-tests for said course. CME post-test require a passing grade of 80%. CE post-tests require a passing grade of 75%. You are given three attempts to pass the post-test and there is not time constraint/delay for taking/retaking tests.
- Complete the Course Evaluation for said course
Once all required components have been completed you will be able to obtain Certificate of CME and/or CE Completion for that course.
How do I view and complete course post-tests and evaluations for CME and CE courses?
Instructions for completing certification and obtaining your certificate are provided at the end of each accredited course.
You can also find each CME and/or CE Certification “course” (aka, a separate component from the educational course itself) in your learning dashboard. These CME and CE Certification courses contain: accreditation information, course post-tests, a course evaluation and/or link, and a form for generating your personalized certificate.
Do I have to complete a Course Evaluation for every accredited course for which I want to claim credit?
Yes, per ACCME policies and requirements, you must complete a course evaluation for every CME-approved course for which you want to claim CME credit. For CE certification, some course evaluations are optional (per the APA guidelines), and instructions for the required components will be listed for each accredited course.
Do I have to complete all tests and evaluations in one sitting?
No. Just like the individual modules of the online courses, your progress is saved in your student account as you go.
The course post-tests and required evaluations for accredited courses can be completed at your own pace. If you need a break after finishing the first test, for example, you may pause; you may then return to the course player, and you can pick up where you left off.
Do I have to report my credits to the ACCME or APA?
No. Courses approved for CME by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and MedicusCME do not require that you report your obtained credits after course completion and certification.
Likewise, courses approved for CE credit by The CE Company and the American Psychological Association (APA) do not require that you report credit.
However, we strongly encourage all Fellows to stay abreast of the latest credit reporting guidelines for each type of credit they are pursuing to remain in compliance with their respective state board.
I previously completed a Psychiatry Redefined course that is now approved for CME or CE credit. Can I claim retroactive credit?
No; CME credits can only be claimed for courses that were completed within our terms of active credit approval. The term of approval for Psychiatry Redefined’s current CME courses began September 1st, 2019. If you completed any of these courses prior to this date, you cannot claim CME credits.
CE credits can only be claimed for courses that were completed within our terms of active credit approval. The term of approval for current CE courses began in December 2022.
