Submission History
Why don't I see my MOC points on my ABIM transcript?
We at the American College of Physicians (ACP) are the accredited providers of CME for MKSAP 18. As such, we are the official record keeper for all CME credits earned and submitted. However, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is the official implementer and manager of all Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points. When you submit for MOC from MKSAP 18, we send your information directly to the ABIM, which is responsible for receiving and processing your data and officially tracking receipt and awarding MOC points accordingly. For this reason, MOC points will not immediately show up in your transcript after you submit. Please allow time for processing.
Why do I see CME credits in my history even though I haven’t submitted for CME from MKSAP 18 Digital yet?
This history section includes all CME earned within MKSAP 18 – not just those earned within MKSAP 18 Digital. As a service to our customers, we have automatically merged all of your MKSAP 18 CME credit submission history into this single page. This means that even if you answered questions in the print version of MKSAP 18 and submitted for CME by mail or by entering your responses in an online answer sheet, these records, including links to your CME Certificates, will appear in your MKSAP 18 CME history.
Why doesn't my CME progress bar match my current answer sheet progress bar?
The progress shown on the CME/MOC/CPD page reflects your best effort across all attempts to answer a question. Clearing your answers will not impact your progress towards CME and MOC. Your answer sheet shows your most current answer. If you've answered questions, cleared answers and then answered again, your 2 progress bars may not match.
