Claim Credit

Credits must be claimed by January 31, 2023. Only individuals who log into the Conference Platform, participate in the activity (attending or viewing at least one in-person, livestreamed or enduring session), and attest to completion will be allowed to claim credit.

Once credit is claimed in the AAP Transcript system, you will not be able to change the amount of credit claimed. Because credit can only be claimed once, please do not claim credit until you have completed all live and/or on-demand sessions in which you plan to participate.
