Two versions of this self-assessment are available: one is the standard version for AMA Category 1 PRA Credit™, and one version awards lifelong learning points toward the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification program in addition to CME credits. The standard version includes a printed syllabus divided into chapters dedicated to specific topical areas in hematology, as well as a self-assessment exam book that includes case-based, multiple-choice questions and critiques. A Web-based multimedia component reflects the same information contained in the printed text and adds the platform for the online exam. For the ASH-SAP with Maintenance of Certification module, the printed question book is withheld, but access to the online hematology text and the online exam are included.
