Reach Out and Read has an online training program, available for 1.25 CME credits to participating pediatricians, family physicians, osteopathic physicians, nurse practitioners, DOs, and physician's assistants.

The online training program incorporates video vignettes of Reach Out and Read in the exam room to help both new and experienced providers get a real sense of the possibilities that books and literacy guidance offer in primary care. This training is recommended to providers in all existing Reach Out and Read Programs, and is one of the training options required of participating providers that have applied to Reach Out and Read and been approved to train.

If you are a new Reach Out and Read Program with at least six pediatric primary care providers, the Reach Out and Read National Center or a regional Coalition (if applicable) may arrange an In-Person training session with an experienced Reach Out and Read Medical Trainer. The Trainer, who is also a Reach Out and Read medical provider, will need approximately one hour to review material with the providers, and if possible, other clinical and administrative staff. We strongly suggest that providers also take advantage of the Online CME Course. In-Person Trainings may also be coordinated for existing Reach Out and Read Programs who are interested in a "refresher" training.
