ABIM Knowledge Check-In Dates
About the Knowledge Check-In MOC Option and ABIM MOC RequirementsKnowledge Check-In Dates vary, although windows in Spring, Summer and Fall have been used.
Dates Registration opened for all 2021 ABIM assessments on December 1, 2020. Contact ABIM.org for more information about your specialty, including KCI exam dates, content (blueprint), tutorial and scoring.
You can try the KCI if it is offered in your specialty. If you are not currently certified, or you are in a grace period, you can regain certification by passing two consecutive KCIs and completing any outstanding MOC points requirements. If you are in the grace period, you can meet your assessment requirement by passing two consecutive KCIs.
The first year a KCI is offered in a specialty it is considered “no consequences,” meaning that if a physician is unsuccessful on one or more attempts, they will get another opportunity to take and pass the KCI two years later. They will continue to be publicly reported as certified as long as they are meeting all other MOC requirements.
NOTE: The Knowledge Check-In will no longer be offered after 2021 as we transition to the longitudinal assessment. 2020 was the final administration for this specialty. The traditional, 10-year MOC exam will continue as an option beyond 2021.
Knowledge Check-In Exam Day Schedule (two-year assessment)
- The Knowledge Check-In takes approximately 3-1/2 hours.
- The assessment is divided into two sessions, each containing a maximum of 45 multiple-choice questions.
- The Knowledge Check-In is the same exam whether you take in online or in a test center.
- Both sessions of the Knowledge Check-In are open-book, meaning that you have access to an online external resource (UpToDate®). You can take the exam tutorial and visit the UpToDate User Academy for ABIM Exam to practice using the open-book feature. Please note that certain features of UpToDate, including those that access external websites like Society Guidelines, will not be available during the exam for security reasons.

Information about the
ABIM Recertification Exam for ABIM Maintenance of Certification

ABIM Board Certification demonstrates that physicians have met rigorous standards through intensive study, self-assessment and evaluation. MOC assessments are designed to evaluate whether a certified internist has maintained competence and currency in the knowledge and judgment required for practice. The MOC assessments emphasizes diagnosis and management of prevalent conditions, particularly in areas where practice has changed in recent years.
As a result of the blueprint review by ABIM diplomates, the assessments place less emphasis on rare conditions and focuses more on situations in which physician intervention can have important consequences for patients. For conditions that are usually managed by other specialists, the focus is on recognition rather than on management.

What is the format of the ABIM MOC Exam?
What's the ABIM Maintenance of Certification Exam format?The traditional 10-year exam comprises up to 220 single best-answer multiple-choice questions, of which 50 are new questions that do not count in the examinee’s score.
The exam consists of single best answer questions only. This type of question consists of a brief statement, case history, graph or picture followed by a question and list of possible options. You must choose the one answer that is better than the others; note that other options may be partially correct. Examinees taking the traditional 10-year MOC exam will have access to an external resource (e.g., UpToDate®) for the entire exam.Familiarizing yourself with the question format in advance may help you work more effectively. Take the tutorial.
Most questions describe clinical scenarios and ask about the work done (that is, tasks performed) by physicians in the course of practice:
- Diagnosis: making a diagnosis or identifying an underlying condition
- Testing: ordering tests for diagnosis, staging, or follow-up
- Treatment/Care Decisions: recommending treatment or other patient care
- Risk Assessment/Prognosis/Epidemiology: assessing risk, determining prognosis, and applying principles from epidemiologic studies
- Pathophysiology/Basic Science: understanding the pathophysiology of disease and basic science knowledge applicable to patient care
Reflecting the overall predominance of office-based internal medicine practice, most questions describe patient encounters that take place in outpatient settings; some encounters will occur in hospital or other inpatient settings as most general internists provide patient care in these settings as well. Clinical information presented may include patient photographs, radiographs, electrocardiograms, and other media to illustrate relevant patient findings.
