About
ASH-SAP, Ninth Edition
The American Society of Hematology Self-Assessment Program (ASH-SAP), Ninth Edition, is as a resource for trainees and practicing hematologists both as a topic review and for preparation of board certification/recertification. Practicing hematologists can earn continuing medical education (CME) credit and points toward American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Learners can claim up to 45 hours of CME credit and/or ABIM MOC credit through a series of six test modules. ASH-SAP is divided into 49 chapters, with 254 challenging and informative multiple-choice questions that will prepare hematologists for professional certification or recertification exams.
Multiple choice questions in ASH-SAP reinforce educational concepts from the chapters that are expanded on in the critiques. All multiple-choice questions and critiques are new, and almost all questions are case based, reflecting the style of questions used in professional examinations. Each question and each critique have been peer-reviewed by content experts, editors, and an independent medical writer with expertise in the construction of case-based vignettes.
New feature included with the Ninth addition: A new self-guided question and answer app is automatically included with ASH-SAP 9. The ASH Q&A Bank app provides you with more than 300 additional practice questions and gives you the capability to test your knowledge with multiple practice tests.*
To claim up to 45 CME/MOC credits based on the ASH-SAP Ninth Edition, visit the ASH Academy On Demand.
*Contents of the Q&A app are not CME accredited
