The Certification Qbank is intended to assist physiatrists to prepare for the ABPMR Primary Part I Certification and MOC Recertification exams. 

Originally published in 2015, content has been reviewed by members of the Academy's Self-Assessment Committee to ensure questions are clinically relevant, with updated references when possible. Per item-writing best practices, questions were edited to make them clearer to ensure a quality user experience. The format of the resource as a self-assessment and study tool, as well its teaching points, are consistent with the 2015 version.

The Pain Management module features 98 questions. This module is part of the Certification Qbank Complete Set that contains 12 topic modules with a total of 831 questions. See the Qbank Complete Set details in the mē catalog for more information.

This learning activity meets the criteria for the Part II: Life-long Learning and Self-Assessment component of the ABPM&R's Maintenance of Certification^©program.You can skip questions and return to them later, however, you must answer all questions to submit the assessment for grading.

Because of the design, your grade will be 100%. Your “initial score”, shown after test completion, will gauge how many questions were answered correctly. You can return to the assessment for further review after submitting the self-assessment for grading.
