KSAs
Collaborate with your peers on ABFM’s Knowledge Self-Assessment (KSA) activities in a virtual classroom setting to complete it more efficiently!
Our next scheduled KSAs will be offered during our Annual Meeting, Friday, December 11, through Saturday, December 12, 2026, at the NIU Naperville Conference Center in Naperville, IL. We look forward to offering this opportunity as part of the meeting and hope you’ll join us!

A completed KSA earns 10 certification points and 8 CME credits toward ABFM certification requirements.
The certification point system requires diplomates to earn 50 MC-FP points at each stage, including completing at least one Part II activity, now called a KSA instead of a SAM. KSA activities are worth 10 points each, while clinical self-assessments (CSAs) are worth 5 points each. Since the clinical simulation component is separate from the knowledge self-assessment, live group study KSA participants can choose to complete the CSA later.
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 cost of participating in our program. You do not need to pay for the KSA activity in advance to earn credit for participation. After completing the KSA, if you owe the Family Medicine Certification process fee for the year, you will be prompted to pay it in your ABFM Physician Portfolio to receive credit for this activity.
If you have any questions about the number of Family Medicine Certification activities you need to complete or when to finish them, the ABFM can help you (877-223-7437).
