ACCP-SEEK

The goals of the ACCP-SEEK program are the following:

1. Provide a self-assessment program for practicing specialists in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine designed to reinforce training and experience, disseminate important new knowledge in the field, and identify areas of strengths and weaknesses within specific areas of disease and/or procedural knowledge.
2. Assist practicing specialists and individuals in training with preparation for certification and recertification examinations sponsored by the medical specialty board.

By completing the questions and reviewing the rationale, participants should be able to:

1. Facilitate self-directed learning efforts targeting content areas from the pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine board examinations.
2. Compare their responses to the case-based questions in pulmonary and critical care medicine with those of the authors.
3. Appraise the differences in management of patient cases depicted in the questions by using the provided rationales.

The Assessment in Critical Care and Pulmonology Self-Education and Evaluation of Knowledge (ACCP-SEEK) is a self-study opportunity in print and app formats for pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine physicians and fellows-in-training. It fulfills an educational need by providing the latest advances in pulmonar, critical care, and sleep medicine posed to the learner as case-based questions on a variety of diseases, procedures, and disorders. The American College of Chest Physicians has identified an educational need to update and review existing knowledge and skills, present new information, and provide a preparation tool for physicians preparing for board examinations. Each question should take the user approximately 15 to 20 minutes to review thoroughly, research the appropriate response, identify the corresponding correct response, and review the rationale of the correct response.

Many great features of both apps include:

• Case-based questions with rationales developed by nationally recognized experts provide thorough explanations for correct and incorrect answers, as well as linked references, helpful for board exam preparation or general review.
• Handy app features include answer tracking, note taking, voice annotating, highlighting, and reference links.
• Quickly find topics of interest with multiple search index options, including searching by key word, ACCP curriculum, and subject taxonomies, and a smart full-text search.
• Zoom in on images and figures, view them in portrait or landscape mode, and mark as favorites the images and figures you need to reference again. On the iPad^®, there also is enhanced figure viewing with double-sized (2x) screen capacity.
• Study on the go; no connectivity is needed to instantly access ACCP-SEEK^® questions and answers once they are purchased.

   

Below is a table that outlines the features and differences of the two apps:

I purchased sets of ten questions. Can I claim CME?
No, CME is only available for answering questions in the ACCP-SEEK^® CME app.

I already purchased the print edition of ACCP-SEEK^® Volume XXI: Pulmonary Medicine. May I claim CME for answering questions in both the book and the CME app?
No, you may only claim CME for one format because the content is the same in both the print and app versions.
