PAs and NPs in America are legally obliged to collect a number of continuing education credits to retain their licences.

Accumulating these credits can be costly in terms of travel expenses and tuition charges. So, by printing educational supplements, The Clinical Advisor offers its readers a chance to gain credits free of charge.

Each supplement comes with a written examination, which the reader completes and mails to an accrediting agency.

The supplements, which are also posted on the magazine’s website, are paid for by pharmaceutical companies, but these companies do not control the editorial content of the supplement.

Recent topics have included chronic pain, hormonal contraception and bipolar disorder.
