About this course:

Longitudinal assessment is a method that has been shown to enhance information retention and facilitate new learning. The diplomate completes shorter, more frequent assessments with spaced repetition (seeing similar questions repeated periodically). It can be likened to quizzing, identifying your knowledge gaps and learning new material, then re-quizzing at a later time to see if you have retained or learned the information.

Research on this method has shown that the act of quizzing and re-quizzing over time improves learning and memory retention better than other study methods, such as reading a text or studying flashcards. ABMGG CertLink meets ACCME requirements for continuing medical education with assessment. Through our partnership with ABMGG, ACMG will award 10 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ each year (5 credits/period) to diplomates participating in ABMGG CertLink.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

1. Recognize key information relevant to specialty
2. Identify gaps in knowledge and skills
3. Discuss effective testing strategies
