How to Use PIR for Renewal of Certification

R J H

During 1995, many pediatricians will participate for the first time in the Pediatric Renewal of Certification Program (PRCP). Since Pediatrics in Review (PIR) and the Pediatrics Review and Education Program (PREP) began in 1979, their material has been integrated with the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) renewal of certification program. The ABP sets the educational objectives (now called content specifications) and develops the examinations. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) develops PREP education materials, PIR, and the Self-Assessment Exercise based on these.

Each year PIR covers about 1000 of the more than 4000 content specifications, including at least half of the 900 selected as the basis each year for the cognitive examination.
