Educational Opportunities

The ASAP online self-assessment tool provides learners with 59 case-based questions designed to challenge clinical thought processes in recall, interpretation, and problem-solving skills in the evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and management of endocrine diseases.

ASAP presents patient cases with case histories, images, lab results and other pertinent information. After completing the self-assessment questions participants are able to access rationales and references for further learning.

Use ASAP to study for board exams and recertification preparation or to challenge and refresh your core knowledge.  Create your own practice exams from the question pool and use the benchmarking feature to see how you scored against your peers!
