CME Accreditation:
The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) has reviewed the Virtual KSA on Musculoskeletal and deemed it acceptable for up to 8.00 Knowledge Self-Assessment, Live AAFP Prescribed credits. Term of Approval is from December 8, 2024, to December 8, 2024. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Participation in this KSA will also equate to 10 points towards your ABFM Family Medicine Certification requirements, if applicable.

Knowledge Self-Assessment (KSA)

The Maryland Academy of Family Physicians, in partnership with the Ohio chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP), is excited to announce two virtual, American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM)-endorsed Family Medicine Certification knowledge self-assesment (KSA) group studies focused on Asthma and Musculoskeletal topics.

This innovative program will use a robust web-based system that will allow family physician learners from across the country the opportunity to complete the KSA while engaging their peers and an expert content leader from a location of their choosing.

These virtual learning sessions offer an innovative method for delivering a KSA nationwide to a large group of physician learners at the same time. Completion of each KSA will provide participants with 10 certification points towards their ABFM certification requirement. In addition, these activities have been reviewed and are acceptable for up to 8 live Prescribed continuing medical education credits by the American Academy of Family Physicians.

How Does it Work:

Participants will use an online polling system to work through KSA questions with out palliative care expert.

Our main goal is to pass the exam, with an expert speaker offering assistance when questions arise.

First, questions will be displayed giving participants approximately 30 seconds to respond (time varies based on speed of participant response).

Next, results will be displayed and discussed.

Finally, answers will be submitted as a group and individuals will be credited for completion of the knowledge self-assessment, once evaluations have been submitted.
