Registration Fees*:

Led by expert Family Physician faculty:

Group Study Workshop Information
In our group study workshop, we will review the questions together, and no prior preparation is required. Copies of the questions provided by the ABFM will be sent along with your Zoom login details. We aim to cover all 30 questions per workshop day, with an expert speaker guiding the discussion and providing background information. After displaying each question, participants will respond via a poll, and the group will work together to determine the best answer. All answers will be submitted collectively, and participants will receive credit for completing the knowledge self-assessment. The KSA will earn 10 certification points and eight live CME credits for ABFM certification requirements.
ABFM Information
A completed KSA will provide 10 certification points and 8 CME credits toward ABFM certification requirements.
The certification point system now requires diplomates to accumulate 50 MC-FP points in each stage, with the completion of at least one Part II activity, which is now a KSA instead of a SAM. KSA activities are worth 10 points each, and the clinical self-assessment (CSAs) will be valued at 5 points. With the separation of the clinical simulation component from the knowledge self-assessment, live group study KSA participants can now choose to complete the KSA at a later time.
If you have any questions about how many Family Medicine Certification activities are required for you at this time and/or when you need to complete them, the ABFM can assist you (ABFM: 877-223-7437).
The ABFM will charge a fee to take their test; the amount varies depending on your re-election cycle. This fee is in addition to the program participation cost. You do not need to pay for the KSA activity in advance to earn credit for participation in the program.
After completion of the KSA, if you owe your Family Medicine Certification process fee for the year, you will be prompted to pay this within your ABFM Physician Portfolio to receive credit for this activity.
