We’re excited to announce that the annual updates to our Self-Evaluation Program (ASCO-SEP) are now live! The latest updates include 22 revised science and clinically based chapters and more than 1,300 questions, as well as improved features and personalization in the SEP Digital Edition and Question Bank. Changes also include new high-yield takeaways in select chapters. Unlike the end-of-chapter summary key points, the high-yield takeaways emphasize the highest-priority items users are likely to see on exams. The 2024 Digital Edition will continue to feature chapter summary guides and stylistic features on all device types, including notetaking, highlighting, bookmarking, robust search, and the ability to download PDFs of each chapter.
