For many years, the Advocate Aurora Library obtained print copies of the Medical Knowledge and Self-Assessment Program (MKSAP) for our collection. Learners used these shared board prep resources both to learn and to assess whether they wanted to purchase personal subscriptions to the MKSAP study aids to gain CME credit.
Starting with MKSAP 19, The American College of Physicians (ACP) eliminated the MKSAP Print-only offering from their product line. Our library attempted to purchase copies of MKSAP 19 Complete which comes with print books and the digital component. But, ACP adjusted their policy to exclude all sales to libraries stating that they cannot separate the print books from digital access. The ACP also includes language forbidding the transfer of the MKSAP materials from the purchaser to a second party. Additionally, they only allow one person to purchase one MKSAP program.
The Library did try to purchase the MKSAP Complete, but ACP refused to fulfill the order. Even though we would not share the single-account credentials and only loan out the print books, they will not sell them to us. We’re sorry that we won’t be able to provide these highly valued resources for our learners.
ACP does offer group purchases for residency programs and individual purchases to residents/fellow members and nonmembers. If you have questions or comments, please contact the ACP at help@acponline.org.
The Library does have other board review materials available for use including:
