When will PEER X be released?

While there are no plans for “PEER X,” PEER has already been completely updated to reflect the new exam structure required by ABEM at each stage of your EM career.

For more information, check out our blog post about each of PEER’s subscription-based products for EM board exam review and CME credit.

Does PEER have a mobile app?

Yes! The ACEP PEER mobile app is now available for download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Will the PEER CME credit expire during my subscription?

No, even though some of the CME credits for PEER products expire in 2024 and 2025, new CME applications are underway, approvals are pending, and new credits will be approved before each expiration date. CME credit will not be interrupted during your yearly subscription.
