Why do I need to create two accounts to complete the training?
For PCPs, PCP Champions, and Psychiatric Consultants, we strongly recommend that you complete the online Collaborative Care trainings provided for free by the American Psychological Association (APA) prior to the AIMS Center Online Collaborative Care trainings. The APA trainings are housed on a different platform than the AIMS Center trainings.
