ACCP-SEEK
Overview
ACCP-SEEK is designed to stimulate and challenge consumers' clinical thought processes regarding recall, interpretation, and problem-solving skills. The case-based questions contain histories, lab results, and images, and provide education concerning current diagnostic and treatment strategies. Each volume contains 75% new questions, answers, and rationales, in addition to selections from the previous volume considered by the editors to be the best-written items. The rationales provide thorough explanations and reasoning for the correct and incorrect answers. ACCP-SEEK is used most commonly as an invaluable study tool for physicians interested in certifying and recertifying in pulmonary and critical care specialties.
Goals
The goals of the ACCP-SEEK program are the following:
- 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.
- Assist practicing specialists and individuals in training with preparation for certification and recertification examinations sponsored by the medical specialty board.
Objectives:
By completing the questions and reviewing the rationale, participants should be able to:
- Facilitate self-directed learning efforts targeting content areas from the pulmonary medicine or critical care medicine board examination.
- Compare their responses to the case-based questions in pulmonary and critical care medicine with those of the authors.
- Appraise management differences in patient cases depicted in the questions through utilization of the provided rationale.
CME Information
The Assessment in Critical Care and Pulmonology Self-Education and Evaluation of Knowledge (ACCP-SEEK) is an self-study opportunity in printed format for pulmonary and critical care physicians and fellows-in-training, that fulfills an educational need by providing the latest advances in pulmonary and critical care medicine posed by 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 board examinations. Each question and rationale, if reviewed thoroughly, should take the user approximately 15-20 minutes to review, research the appropriate response, identify the corresponding correct response, and review the rationale for the correct response. Each ACCP-SEEK volume has a total of 200 questions.

Financial Disclosure
The American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) remains strongly committed to providing the best available evidencebased clinical information to participants of this educational activity and requires an open disclosure of any potential conflict of interest identified by our faculty members. It is not the intent of the ACCP to eliminate all situations of potential conflict of interest, but rather to enable those who are working with the ACCP to recognize situations that may be subject to question by others. All disclosed conflicts of interest are reviewed by the educational activity course director/chair, the Education Committee, or the Conflict of Interest Review Committee to ensure that such situations are properly evaluated and, if necessary, resolved. The ACCP educational standards pertaining to conflict of interest are intended to maintain the professional autonomy of the clinical experts inherent in promoting a balanced presentation of science. Through our review process, all ACCP CME activities are ensured of independent, objective, scientifically balanced presentations of information. Disclosure of any or no relationships will be made available on-site during all educational activities.
