Welcome to the Neurology Section of MKSAP 19! In these pages, you will find updated information on headache and facial pain, head injury, epilepsy, stroke, cognitive disorders, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, disorders of the spinal cord, neuromuscular disorders, and neuro-oncology. All of these topics are uniquely focused on the needs of generalists and subspecialists outside of neurology. MKSAP 19 strives to provide the clinical knowledge its learners need to navigate their longitudinal learning paths. MKSAP 19’s core content contains essential, newly researched information in 11 subspecialty areas of internal medicine—created by dozens of expert generalists and subspecialists. Development of MKSAP 19’s syllabus and its 1200 all-new, peer-reviewed, psychometrically validated multiple-choice questions (MCQs) has been informed by ABIM Certification and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements, emerging internal medicine knowledge, and our learners’ feedback. MKSAP 19 contin- ues to include High Value Care (HVC) recommendations and MCQs, based on the concept of balancing clinical benefit with costs and harms. Hospital-based internists can continue to trust that MKSAP’s comprehensive hospitalist content, integrated throughout the syllabus, and hospitalist-focused MCQs, specially designated with the blue hospitalist icon (EJ), continue to align with the ABIM’s Focused Practice in Hospital Medicine MOC exam blueprint and enhance learning for hospital-based practitioners.

Language can be imprecise and imperfect, but MKSAP 19’s Editors and contributors commit to using language and images that support ACP’s commitment to being an anti-racist organization that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion through- out health care and health education. ACP also continues to ensure diversity among MKSAP’s physician-contributors. When appropriate, the MKSAP Editors also rely on MKSAP 19 Digital's expanded use of multimedia enhancements, including video and audio, to explore and more fully explain issues surrounding the presentation of MKSAP 19 clinical content as it relates to race and ethnicity. MKSAP 19 users are encouraged to contact the Editors at mksap_editors@acponline.org to help us identify opportunities for improvement in this area. On behalf of the many internists and editorial staff who have helped us create our new edition, we are honored that you have chosen to use MKSAP 19 to meet your lifelong learning needs.
