When is the new edition of MKSAP being released?
ACP MKSAP will be released February 3, 2025. If you purchase during the presale period, which starts April 9, 2024, you’ll receive valuable bonus content plus a discounted subscription rate.
MKSAP 19, the current edition, is updated regularly with the latest clinical information. The most recent MKSAP 19 New Information Update was posted at the end of November 2023, and the next one will be posted in May 2024.
Will there be a print version of the new MKSAP?
No. The new edition of MKSAP will be all digital, created for ease of use with today’s learners in mind, and will be continually updated with the latest clinical information.
I am certifying or recertifying this year. Should I use MKSAP 19 or wait to purchase the next edition?
Digital access to MKSAP 19 will be available until August 31, 2026, and content will continue to be updated. The next version of MKSAP will launch in February 2025. Residents and diplomates preparing for the ABIM Certification Examination, 10-Year ABIM MOC Examination, or ABIM Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment should purchase the following versions of MKSAP for their respective exams:
Residents—ABIM Certification Examination
Diplomates—10-Year ABIM MOC Examination
Diplomates—ABIM Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA) (Note: LKA is a 5-year pathway, with the cohort year indicating the year the diplomate enters the LKA.)
How long will MKSAP 19 learners, including residency programs, have access to MKSAP 19?
MKSAP 19 access will be extended through August 31, 2026.
What are the new features included with the new MKSAP?
Because ACP MKSAP is currently in development, we aren’t yet able to share specific new features. However, along with the latest clinical content, ACP MKSAP will feature an ever-growing question bank with multiple question formats, more multimedia to reinforce key concepts, and a portfolio of study tools and features, including the MKSAP features you’ve come to know and trust, such as the IM-ITE Feedback feature, the personalized Learning Plan, and the Board Exam Topic Guide. ACP MKSAP will also offer Board Basics®, digital flashcards, unlimited custom quizzes, the new CORE questions feature, and automatic content updates throughout your subscription term.
Will the Residency Tracker we are currently using and the information included transfer to the new edition?
The Residency Tracker is updated with each edition and does not carry over information. However, the good news is that with the upcoming change to a subscription model, this will be the last time you will need to change over to a new Residency Tracker platform.
