The 17th edition of Medical Knowledge Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP(R) 17) is specifically intended for physicians who provide personal, nonsurgical care to adults. Included are: general internists and primary care physicians; subspecialists who need to remain up-to-date in internal medicine; residents preparing for the Certification Exam in internal medicine; physicians preparing for the Maintenance of Certification Exam in internal medicine. The learning objectives of MKSAP(R) 17 are to:* Close gaps between actual care in your practice and preferred standards of care, based on best evidence.* Diagnose disease states that are less common and sometimes overlooked and confusing.* Improve management of comorbid conditions that can complicate patient care.* Determine when to refer patients for surgery or care by subspecialists.* Pass the ABIM Certification Examination and the ABIM Maintenance of Certification Examination.MKSAP(R) 17 Print includes 11 highly informative sections and a Cumulative Index.

Part B will publish on 31 December 2015 (Endocrinology and Metabolism; General Internal Medicine; Infectious Disease; Nephrology; Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine).
