MKSAP 19 Features
For over 50 years, the Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP) has been the most trusted resource in continuous learning for internal medicine physicians and residents. The tradition continues with MKSAP 19.
What is MKSAP?
The Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program® (MKSAP) has been the “go-to” resource for board prep and lifelong learning since 1967.
Trusted. Proven. Guaranteed.
MKSAP 19 is the comprehensive learning management system that residents and practicing physicians have relied on to assess their knowledge, stay current in medicine, use as a clinical reference in their daily practice, and prepare for their Board exams.
Why MKSAP?
Regularly Updated Content.
MKSAP 19 offers the most up-to-date information, with incorporation of regular "New Info Updates" to reflect practice-changing information, guidelines, and expert recommendations.
Control Your Learning.
With MKSAP 19, you are in control of your learning and have access to the tools to help you achieve your goals. Unlimited custom quizzes help to identify knowledge gaps, digital flashcards with adaptive learning technology reinforce learning, and the new Learning Dashboard facilitates customized learning targets and plans. New for MKSAP 19, residents can upload their IM-ITE results to help identify areas requiring additional learning.
Trusted Board Prep Resources.
MKSAP 19 has been trusted by residents preparing for the ABIM Certification exam in ACGME-accredited allopathic and osteopathic programs, as well as by practicing physicians studying for the ABIM Maintenance of Certification Exam, and hospitalists taking the Focused Practice in Hospitalist Medicine exam.
Easily Earn and Submit To Meet Your CME/MOC Goals.
Meet your continuing education requirements with more CME credits and MOC points than ever before. With MKSAP 19, you can learn and earn CME and MOC gradually – a few questions at a time – to meet your professional goals on your own schedule.
High-value Learning.
MKSAP offers a value-packed learning management system for one subscription price and unlimited opportunities to clear your answers and create custom quizzes. With 12 comprehensive subspecialty-based syllabus sections, an extensive question bank, hundreds of high value care recommendations, dozens of useful, fact-filled tables and colorful images, multimedia enhancements, and a learner-centric dashboard with helpful learning links, MKSAP offers the most learning for the most value.
How MKSAP Is Developed
More than 100 experts in internal medicine and its subspecialties completely update, revise, and rewrite each new edition every 3 years using the latest clinical information.
Focused on Excellence.
Every 3 years, MKSAP is developed by more than 100 experts in the subspecialties of internal medicine and rigorously reviewed by our 12 committees and peer reviewers.
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.
Reader-friendly Content.
MKSAP 19’s summary key points, high value care recommendations, incisive summary tables, and dynamic 4-color images accentuate the layout, enhancing readability.
