Each quarter of the year, Journal of Pediatric Surgery includes CME exams designated for potential CME credit . Each exam is based on articles published in Journal of Pediatric Surgery and consists of a test with short questions followed by a brief evaluation. After reading the featured articles published in the issue of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery, participants in the CME program should be able to recall the material and be able to apply the information to clinical practice. The learning objectives for each article are stated at the beginning of each featured article followed by questions and a discussion of the learning objective.

The American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. APSA designates this educational activity for Category 1 CME for part 2 of the American Board of Surgery Maintenance of Certification, Life Long Learning and Self-Assessment.
