As of January 2022, the ABIM began offering a new exam feature called the Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA), 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:

1. An LKA digital primer with supplements*
2. The Digital Syllabus from the 2022 Steinberg Board Review in Gastroenterology & Best Practices Course, and
3. Access to our Online Practice Exams which include more than 1000 board-type questions.

Access to your online study materials will last for one year with an option to renew with a 25% discount off the listed price.

* 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.

The cost of our LKA Study Package is $800, a huge savings on these educational tools! Because the LKA exam lasts 5 years, we will offer you a subscription to the LKA Study Package for 5 years—discounting the fee yearly at 25% off the listed price.

A printed version of the 2022 Syllabus is also available for $175!

LKA PLUS
An enhanced version of the LKA Study Package, LKA Plus adds the following to the 3 items in the LKA package (the Digital Primer, Digital Syllabus, and the online exam package):

1. Online Video and Audio of the 2022 Steinberg Course and
2. Twenty-nine additional presentations in our Archived Lectures Library

The cost of our LKA PLUS is $1,650. Access to your online study materials will last for one year with an option to renew with a 25% discount off the listed price.

*Please note that for this discounted package, proof of your registration for the LKA will be required in the form of your ABIM Letter of Notification emailed to giboardreview@gmail.com. After checkout you will be directed to a page with instructions for verifying your registration for the LKA.
