The American Board of Internal Medicine has approved MKSAP 16 for Evaluation of Medical Knowledge points under Maintenance of Certification (208 points for Part A and 192 points for Part B). With MKSAP 16 you no longer need to earn pre-requisite CME credits. To apply for MOC points for any MKSAP 16 test:
- Go to the Online Answer Sheets.
- Complete the test and score at least 50% correct.
- Hit the Submit for ABIM MOC points button, enter the required information, and you will receive your awards in 1-3 days.
If you are a qualified diplomate and enrolled in MOC, you can
- Apply for 20 Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge points required under MOC
- Apply for 60 points required in either Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge or Practice Performance.
This means you can use MKSAP 16 for up to 80 of the 100 required Self-Evaluation points. MKSAP 16 cannot be used to apply for the remaining 20 points required in Self-Evaluation of Practice Performance. Learn more about earning Practice Performance points from ABIM.
