SNIPS is a new kind of educational course, cutting directly to the information you need to know in a short, visual format. Developed directly from content performance deficiencies from recent ABPS Continuous Certification Exam, these streamlined learning modules feature quick, easily digestible videos on important topics your peers struggled with last year. Take advantage of this great ASPS member benefit or upgrade for CME credits. This course focuses on important topics, in a short, visual Q&A format.
