A Physician's Perspective on the Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment

By: ABIM Blog

American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Board Chair Ashok Balasubramanyam, MD, explained the reasons for participating in the association's Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA) for Maintenance of Certification (MOC). He said certain LKA features, like the ability to take questions on a continuous basis, are more conducive to his way of learning and keeping up with medical knowledge. "When I took the 10-year [MOC] exam, I really needed to cram, which I didn't like as it caused a lot of stress," Balasubramanyam said. "I also came to realize that once the exam was over, I didn't feel that I retained most of what I had studied." He also cited the LKA's real-time feedback process, praising its explanations for wrong answers and relevant references.
