Please note, only international AAPM&R members and physicians practicing outside the United States are eligible to earn this certificate. It's intended to provide our international peers with a way of measuring their knowledge competencies against U.S. standards.

By participating in this activity, users will be able to identify knowledge gaps in which additional study is needed and then develop a strategy to close the identified knowledge gaps using references provided with each question.

To complete the International Certificate of Achievement, you must complete and pass all eight modules before earning the certificate. A minimum passing score of 80% is required to complete each module. Users will have unlimited attempts to achieve this passing score. After completion, users can access the content and references at any time.

Once your modules are completed with passing scores, the Academy will contact you by email with instructions on how to access your certificate.

When registering, you will need to select which eight (8) out of the twelve (12) modules below you would like to complete. You will only have access to the eight (8) modules you selected.
