MKSAP 19 Confirmation of Relevant Education (CORE) Questions CME and MOC Information for Physicians

The Ā鶹ֱ²„app is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The Ā鶹ֱ²„app designates this enduring material, MKSAP 19 Confirmation of Relevant Education (CORE) Questions, for a maximum of 45 AMA PRA Category 1 Creditsā„¢. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 45 medical knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity providerā€™s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

AMA PRA Category 1 Creditsā„¢ and MOC points are available from February 6, 2024 to August 31, 2026.

Submitting for CME/MOC

To earn CME credits or to apply for MOC points, answer at least one of two questions correctly (earning a score of at least 50%). Each single MKSAP 19 CORE Question qualifies for one quarter of an AMA PRA Category 1 Creditsā„¢ or ABIM MOC point. In order to access CORE Questions, you must first complete at least half the MKSAP 19 questions within a subspecialty with at least half of those questions answered correctly. Enter your answers by accessing the MKSAP 19 CORE Questions through the left-panel Questions Bank tab, clicking the ā€œView CORE Progressā€ button, and answering quiz questions for subspecialties that have been unlocked. You can then click the ā€œClaim CMEā€ button once you qualify for CME and are ready to submit. Learners should keep in mind their yearly CME and MOC deadlines when determining the appropriate time to submit.
