Assessment-Based Certificate Program in Pediatrics (2023)
Program Information
Program Description
The AAMA Assessment-Based Certificate in Pediatrics program is a microcredential that provides comprehensive education in four key topics:
  • Well-child care
  • Newborn care
  • Common childhood illnesses, conditions, and injuries
  • Psychological aspects of pediatric care

This program will expand and advance your knowledge and understanding of these important aspects of—and medical assistants’ role within—pediatric care.

Program Overview
To earn the certificate, learners must successfully complete all four courses and the final assessment.

  • Course 1: Well-Child Care
  • Course 2: Newborn Care
  • Course 3: Common Childhood Illnesses, Conditions, and Injuries
  • Course 4: Psychological Aspects of Pediatric Care

The time allotted for completion of the Certificate Program is 90 days.

Additional Information
  • A practice exam is included for each course.
  • The final assessment must be passed with a score of 70% or higher in order to earn the CEU credit.
  • The final assessment is timed, allowing users 120 minutes to complete the test.
  • This is a closed-book test, with no option for going back into the course once the test has been started.

Recipients of the ABC-P who are proven to have disregarded this policy will have their ABC-P revoked, must return the ABC-P certificate to the AAMA Continuing Education Department, and will have their names removed from the public roster of ABC-P holders.
