Claiming Your Credits and Printing Certificates

The online AAP Transcript System is the official way to claim credit and print certificates for all AAP CME Activities and access transcripts.

Credits must be claimed within one (1) year of the CME activity’s end date.

All CME activity participants must claim their credit online, where you also have the option to print a copy of your certificate.

Individual or paper certificates will not be distributed to you post-activity.

To claim your credits, please use these quick and easy-to-follow instructions:
