ACP and ABIM Announce Collaboration to Help Physicians Customize Learning Plans in ACP MKSAP

The American College of Physicians (ACP) and the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) today announced a new collaboration that will allow ACP MKSAP (Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program) subscribers the option of importing their most recent ABIM assessment results directly into their ACP MKSAP account to inform a customized learning plan.

This feature will launch on February 25, 2026, and will be included at no additional cost for ACP MKSAP subscribers.

With the addition of this new feature, ACP MKSAP represents the first national Precision Education System for practicing internal medicine physicians. It complements ACP MKSAP’s Internal Medicine In-Training Examination (IM-ITE) Feedback feature, which enables physicians-in-training to import educational objectives from incorrectly answered IM-ITE questions into their ACP MKSAP program. Together, these tools assist physicians as they efficiently identify and attempt to close knowledge gaps. 

Results from the following ABIM assessments may be imported:

• Internal Medicine Certification Examination;
• Internal Medicine Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA^®);
• Internal Medicine: Inpatient LKA^®;
• Internal Medicine Traditional 10-Year Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Exam; and,
• Internal Medicine: Inpatient Traditional 10-Year MOC Exam.

After opting into sharing ABIM assessment results with ACP, physicians will be able to build a customized learning plan based on missed questions or topic areas where they feel they would benefit from additional knowledge.

“This collaboration marks an important step forward in supporting lifelong learning and provides the first national Precision Education System for internal medicine physicians,” said Jason M. Goldman, MD, MACP, President of ACP. “By integrating ABIM assessment results into ACP MKSAP’s Learning Plan, we are equipping clinicians with personalized tools to strengthen their knowledge and ensure they remain current in a rapidly evolving environment.”

“This collaboration aligns assessment with learning in a meaningful, practical way so that physicians can focus their time where it matters most for their patients,” said Robert O. Roswell, MD, FACP, FACC, Chair of the ABIM Board of Directors. “ACP and ABIM have developed a physician-centered initiative that transforms useful information into personalized learning that respects time and advances quality.”
