What is the SASP?
For more than 30 years, the AUA's Self-Assessment Study Program (SASP) has been a leading educational resource for urologists-in-training and practicing urologists. Developed each year, SASP is a 150-question, multiple-choice practice examination that addresses the core curriculum of medical knowledge and latest advances in patient care. You can take the SASP open or closed book, and you're provided correct answers with detailed answer rationales and references.
Why is the SASP the AUA's most popular study tool for exam preparation?
Constructed in the same style as the AUA and ABU's multiple-choice examinations—and offered in four convenient formats to meet your unique study preference—SASP is the AUA's most popular study tool for exam preparation. SASP provides participants their scores, the scores of their peers, and access to answer commentary and scientific references, allowing participants to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in various clinical areas. Also, it is important to note that 15 – 20 percent of the content of the ABU Recertification Examination comes directly from SASP! Offering up to 20 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™, the SASP also helps to fulfill the CME requirements mandated by the ABU Maintenance of Certification (MOC)© process.
Which format is right for you?
To meet your learning preference, SASP is available in four convenient formats—booklet, online, CD, and the innovative Qstream (formerly Spaced Education) format which sends questions directly to your computer or mobile device.
