Relevant to Your Needs.
MKSAP contains clear, evidence-based core internal medicine content to help you deliver the best patient care. Whether you are focused on ambulatory or hospital-based medicine, preparing for your boards, or are a subspecialist trying to keep up-to-date in other subspecialty areas of internal medicine, MKSAP provides a targeted solution for your needs.
ACP will not set up MKSAP CME/MOC accounts for purchasers of MKSAP sold by unauthorized sellers (e.g., Amazon, e-Bay), with whom ACP has no relationship. We do not honor third party sales.
Study with a variety of question formats. Depending on the format you purchase, MKSAP 19 offers variety in both number and type of questions, including traditional self-assessment questions, Extension Questions focusing on new information and learning gaps, Virtual Dx (image-based) Questions, flashcards (one-question/one-answer questions, adaptive learning enhanced), and MKSAP Quick Qs to focus your study and prime you for your boards.
With MKSAP 19, you can earn a quarter of a point for each question when you answer one of two questions correctly (50% correct). This same formula will apply to MKSAP Quick Qs, Virtual Dx, and Extension Questions. You will still have multiple attempts to answer questions correctly to earn the maximum number of points per section.
MKSAP 19 is specifically intended for physicians who provide personal, nonsurgical care to adults. Specifically, general internal medicine physicians and primary care physicians, subspecialists who need to remain up-to-date in internal medicine, residents preparing for the Certification Exam in internal medicine, and physicians preparing for the Maintenance of Certification Exam or Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment in internal medicine.
Successful completion of these CME activities, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program as listed below. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for each activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
Virtual Dx is intended for physicians who provide personal, nonsurgical care to adults. Specifically, general internal medicine physicians and primary care physicians, subspecialists who need to remain up-to-date in internal medicine, residents preparing for the Certification Exam in internal medicine, and physicians preparing for the Maintenance of Certification Exam in internal medicine.
Test yourself with concise, board-like questions that are mapped to the high-frequency/high-important areas of the ABIM blueprint. With at least 250 questions, MKSAP Quick Qs are specifically created to help you prepare for the ABIM Certification and MOC exams. With the MKSAP Quick Qs, you can create custom quizzes in Exam and Study mode to facilitate your learning.

I knew years in advance that I had to take the Internal Medicine recertification exam in 2015. Since my husband works in football, I knew I better not schedule the test for the fall. So, April 2015 was it.
November 2014 rolled around. In my little bits and pieces of free time, I researched board review books. It took me a month to be able to make a decision. When I did, I got on the computer and ordered the MKSAP books with the online interactive modules. I spent a TON of money, and a cement-block sized box arrived on my doorstep a few days later. One night in December when the kids were asleep, I opened the box and eagerly flipped through the pretty books, glancing through the chapters and the questions. My stomach sank.
Oooomph. Despite being in the office four days a week, immersed in clinical duties, and constantly logged on to UpToDate, I realized there was a lot of unfamiliar material. We would be tested on clinical issues that I did not regularly encounter in outpatient primary care practice, such as practical oncology, acute cardiac care, rheumatology treatments, and so on and so on. For the first time, I felt nervous. Could I fail this test?
But, there was only one thing to do: take a deep breath and outline a plan of attack. I estimated how long I had to go through each book, reading all the chapters and complete all the questions, in order to be done before the exam date. I would need to get through a book every two weeks.
