Caring with Compassion

ACP Interactive Modules

The 2025 rerelease of ACP's module Caring with Compassion includes updated information and provides an additional learning and credit earning opportunity for learners who claimed credit for earlier versions.

Caring with Compassion is a freely shared curriculum supporting health professionals who care for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations: homeless, uninsured, at-risk, and underserved patients. Clinicians will learn how to use team-based skills and the bio-psychosocial model to provide personalized care for at-risk patients.

This curriculum is designed to support independent, self-directed learning. There are 3 main components: online modules, a learning game called "Care Consequences," and a collection of implementation resources. For more detailed information designed for educational program leaders, please review the For Educators section, including the formal Instructor’s Guide.

To access the formal curriculum or the Care Consequences game, create a free login (note that you must do this even if you are logged in as an ACP member). You will be provided with a personalized learning dashboard to track your progress.

Successful completion of learning activities will allow ACP members to submit for CME credit sponsored by the American College of Physicians (ACP), and the content supports ACP’s initiative on Addressing Social Determinants to Improve Patient Care and Promote Health Equity.
