About This Course
The profession of family medicine is changing, and the
organizations that establish and maintain certification
requirements are making it ever tougher to stay in the game.
That's right, the recertification exam is getting more
demanding, what with all the new attention to evidence-based
medicine (EBM). And then, the annual maintenance of
certification (MC-FP) Self Assessment Module (SAM) requires you
to devote precious hours of your time to ensure that you are
up-to-date on the standard of care for all the major clinical
categories in your practice environment. This annual challenge
also requires you to register for and pass a demanding test on
the SAM material.
Each year, the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM)
identifies two Self Assessment Modules (SAMs), and eventually
will have 12 SAMs altogether; family physicians who are
recertifying in the future are required to complete and pass
tests on six of the twelve SAMs as part of their Maintenance of
Certification (MC-FP). These new tests are very challenging --
the passing grade is 90%!! Most physicians don't pass on their
first attempt. And these Maintenance of Certification tests are
required in addition to periodic recertification exams. That's
where we come in!
