Prepare Trainees for Exams

ACP MKSAP’s interactive dashboard allows residents to establish a personalized Learning Plan and track learning progress. Your residents can opt in to import their ITE feedback into their learning plan to address knowledge gaps. Adaptive flashcard technology supports recall of key information. Virtual Dx supports image-based learning. A randomized bank of nearly 2,000 unique multiple-choice questions are mapped to the ABIM blueprint and linked to related syllabus content—ideal for question-based micro-learning sessions. Unlimited custom quizzes provide hours of exam-style practice.

With the new Confirmation of Relevant Education (CORE) feature, residents can unlock additional questions and earn badges and a certificate to demonstrate learning.

TIPS FOR EDUCATORS

1. Based on knowledge gaps identified from the IM-ITE feedback feature, work with your residents to create personalized learning plans for further study, with access to additional ACP resources in areas of need.
2. Before exam day, encourage your residents to use the Board Exam Topic Guide to easily find MKSAP content based on the frequency and importance of specific topics on the ABIM exam blueprint.

Among the most efficient and effective courses for first-time test takers, the ACP Internal Medicine Board Review course offers a comprehensive 5-day Board review experience in May or July. Learners can participate in person or virtually via livestream. The course features hundreds of unique Board-style questions mapped directly to the ABIM blueprint. All learners will answer questions using live polling and engage with faculty during Q&A sessions. ACP members receive discounts on registration fees. Attendees of both the virtual and live courses have access to the course recordings for 6 months—convenient for busy clinicians who can’t attend the full 5-day review course.

Alternatively, residents can study at home and at their own pace with ACP Board Review Course Recordings. This newly redesigned, self-paced program includes more than 37 hours of recordings of our live courses broken down into 49 lectures with online prompts to answer questions as participants navigate the course.

For learners interested in listening to full-length, audio-only versions of course content, the ACP Audio app is available to purchasers of the recordings. Download the app from the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store to stream the content or listen offline.

TIP FOR EDUCATORS

1. ACP offers a Board Review Guarantee with our courses and recording—if your learner completes a course and does not pass the ABIM exam, they can attend another course for free or obtain free access to the recordings within a year of their ABIM failure notification date.

The Internal Medicine In-Training Exam and ACP’s Board Prep Curriculum for Educators are also great resources to help prepare your residents for the ABIM Certification Exam.
