Since that time, ABFM has deployed modules for coronary artery disease, chronic heart failure, well child care, maternity care, preventive care, care of the vulnerable elderly, pain management, early childhood illness, cerebrovascular disease, and health behavior. Each of the SAMs includes a Diplomate assessment of both the knowledge assessment and the simulation components.
