The ABPN has approved this program as part of a comprehensive Self-Assessment Program which is mandated by the ABMS as a necessary component of Maintenance of Certification.

Target audience This self-assessment examination is relevant for addiction psychiatrists preparing for recertification. It may also serve as a tool for any academic and treatment professional to stay updated on the most recent trends in the addiction field.

To claim designated credit, test-takers must earn a minimum passing grade of at least 70% on the examination.
After completing the exam and claiming credit, participants can create unlimited self-defined practice exams from the Self-Assessment content.

Method of learner participation This examination should be used as a study guide for completing a Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Board Examination. In order to fulfill ABPN’s requirement, each physician should complete all 100 questions, study and research the materials, compare their responses to the correct responses, review the explanations ("commentary"), references and peer responses provided and identify areas where more studying may be necessary. In order to receive credit, learners need to receive a passing grade of 70% or higher. The estimated time to complete this process is 10 hours.
