Self-assessment is paired with continuing medical education in the "lifelong learning " component of the American Board of Radiology's (ABR) Maintenance of Certification program. The literature on the use of self-assessment in higher education and the professions is instructive with regard to the distinctiveness of this form of adult learning. This article reviews pertinent literature, summarizes the findings, and applies the principles to the creation and use of "self-assessment modules" (SAMs) for the maintenance of certification. Data on the use of ABR-qualified SAMs are reported. On completion of this article, the reader should be able to describe the nature, role, and best practices of self-assessment; apply these concepts to the creation or use of a SAM; and identify future opportunities for SAM development and use that will enhance the lifelong learning of radiologists.
在美国放射学会（ABR）的认证维持计划的“终身学习”部分中，自我评估与继续医学教育相结合。关于在高等教育和专业领域中使用自我评估的文献，对于这种成人学习形式的独特性具有指导意义。本文回顾了相关文献，总结了研究结果，并将这些原则应用于创建和使用“自我评估模块”（SAMs）以维持认证。报告了使用ABR认证的SAMs的数据。读完本文后，读者应能够描述自我评估的性质、作用和最佳实践；将这些概念应用于创建或使用SAM；并确定SAM开发和使用的未来机会，以促进放射科医生的终身学习。
