As of January 2022, the ABIM began offering a new exam feature called the Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA), a 5-year program to maintain certification.

Physicians will be able to enroll in the LKA or can choose to take the traditional 10-year MOC exam if they prefer.

The LKA assessment option will replace the 2-year Knowledge Check-In Exam that was rolled out in 2018. For more information on the LKA go to abim.org/lka

For those of you who are choosing the LKA instead of the 10-year exam, we have created a study package designed specifically for this new assessment comprised of:

• An LKA digital primer with supplements added yearly.

• The Digital Syllabus from the most recent Steinberg Board Review in Gastroenterology & Best Practices Course**

• Access to our Online Practice Exams which include more than 1000 board-type questions.

Access to these online study materials will last for one year with an option to renew with increasing discounts if you renew!

The LKA digital primer is a new online document consisting of a > 400-page manuscript that succinctly reviews GI Society guidelines (AGA, ACG, ASGE, and AASLD) in the last 3-4 years. After each guideline review at least 2 board review questions have been created (total of > 120 questions). At the end of the document, all the questions and answers are listed again for study purposes. Click here to see an sample of the Primer at the bottom of this page.
May 31, 2023: Supplement 1- This supplement includes a summary of the GI Societies (AGA, ACG, ASGE, AASLD) guidelines for 2022.
January 18, 2024: Supplement 2- This supplement includes a summary of the GI Societies (AGA, ACG, ASGE, AASLD) guidelines for 2023.
