Pain Medicine- KSA Working Group
Easily fulfill the 60-question Knowledge Self-Assessment (KSA with this one-day session that meets your ABFM’s Family Medicine Certification Self-Assessment Activities requirement.
- Review 60 core competency questions with experienced family physician faculty, and decide the best answer with your colleagues.
- The IAFP reports your answers directly to the ABFM on your behalf.
How the Virtual KSA Works
In order to provide an ABFM-endorsed KSA group study session, the ABFM requires that the program administrators embed “code words” into the webinar slides to ensure that participants are paying attention throughout the duration of the program. You will be asked to capture these code words on an evaluation tool that will be sent to you in advance.
The most important function of the webinar is the polling process which helps to determine group consensus on what answer should be submitted on the ABFM’s answer sheet. Instructions on this important process will be detailed prior to the start of the program with plenty of time for participants to test the system.
In a nutshell, questions will be displayed, read verbally by the moderator, and then opened for participants to respond. Next, poll results will be displayed and discussed with guidance from the expert speaker. If consensus on an assessment answer is not clear, a re-poll may be necessary. The IAFP staff will be working in the background to collect group answers on the approved ABFM answer sheet. Finally, the answer sheet will be submitted as a group to the ABFM and individuals will be credited for completion of the KSA once event evaluations are received within 72 hours.
CME
The AAFP has reviewed KSA- Pain Medicine and deemed it acceptable for up to 8.00 Knowledge Self-Assessment, Live AAFP Prescribed credits. Term of Approval is from 12/16/2023 to 12/16/2023. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity

AAFP’s Survey to Build a Compensation Comparison Tool for Family Physicians
No other medical specialists treat a wider swath of patients and care for a broader range of conditions than family physicians. Not only do FPs save more lives than any other medical professionals, but they also rein in patients’ health care costs by providing continuous, comprehensive care that’s deeply rooted in the patient-physician relationship.
Which begs the question: Are you being paid what you’re worth? What about job benefits and work/life balance? Do yours measure up?
