Course Overview
The Pediatric Board Review Home Study is the online version of the 2012 Children’s National Medical Center Pediatric Board Review Live Course, which took place in August of 2012.

This online pediatric board review course is designed and recommended for physicians preparing for either certification or the re-certification examination of the American Board of Pediatrics in General Pediatrics. It is ideal for those who want to study at their own pace or those unable to participate in a live board review. Practicing pediatricians, family physicians, or pediatric sub-specialists not considering either examination can also benefit from this intensive refresher course in pediatrics. For previous test takers who have had difficulty preparing for and taking the Board exams in general, this course offers practice in visual diagnosis and practice examinations, in addition to the extensive review of the theory.

Course features include:
• 35 hours of streaming video covering all the components of the Pediatric Board Exam
• Online access to 100 test questions with explanations of answers
• Online CME credit claim form and certificate

Course materials will be available online through July 31, 2013.
