Assessment in Critical Care and Pulmonology Self-Education and Evaluation
of Knowledge for Critical Care Medicine and Pulmonary Medicine

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 two-fold. The primary goal is to provide a self-assessment program for practicing specialists in pulmonary and critical care medicine designed to reinforce training and experience and to disseminate important new knowledge in the field. The secondary goal is to assist the practicing specialist and individual in training in preparing for certification and recertification examinations sponsored by the medical specialty board.

Objectives:

1. Review case-based questions in critical care management of selected patient scenarios, and determine the corresponding correct answer from the question posed.
   
   
2. Based upon your responses to the posed case-based questions, identify disease/procedural categories that are your strengths and those that require additional information. Use additional ACCP educational resources to gain this information, building upon your content knowledge base.
   
   
3. Discuss the most challenging questions with colleagues. Collectively determine the reasoning behind the stated rationale.
