The tuition for one unit of CPE is $500 and the fee for application is $35. The interns are not required to take call at night. However, in the past, participants in the summer intensive unit have chosen to work an additional 5 hours a week into the early evening so that they can complete the unit one week early (45 hours a week for 9 weeks rather than 40 hours a week for 10 weeks).

Additional CPE sites are available across the US. For additional information, please go to: http://www.acpe.edu/DirectoriesRegions.html.
