ASH-SAP

The American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP), Eighth Edition, is intended to serve as a resource for trainees, both as a topic review and as a means to prepare for specialty board certification. ASH-SAP is also intended for practicing hematologists, both as an update in the discipline and as an opportunity to earn continuing medical education (CME) credit and points toward American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Learners can claim up to 75 hours of CME credit and/or ABIM MOC credit through a series of 6 test modules covering the content of the eighth edition of ASH-SAP.

A major goal of ASH-SAP is to provide challenging and informative multiple-choice questions for hematologists preparing for professional certification or recertification exams, especially the ABIM hematology examinations. Toward that end, the multiple-choice questions in ASH-SAP are intended to be challenging and are designed to reinforce educational concepts from the chapters that are expanded on in the critiques. In this edition of ASH-SAP, all multiple-choice questions and critiques are new, and almost all questions are case based, reflecting the style of questions used in professional examinations.

Each question and each critique have undergone a 3-step review by content experts, the editors, and an independent medical writer with expertise in the construction of case-based vignettes.
