GESAP FAQs

Yes, you can sign up anytime, with renewal taking place every June. 

The first year of GESAP Plus includes 278 questions. These 278 questions are also in GESAP Standard, but the Standard version gives you access to a total of 540 questions upfront upon purchase. The advantage of GESAP Plus subscription is that learners will receive a brand-new bank of questions annually on June 1. The team of over 100 Physicians authors is constantly reviewing/adding/deleting questions in the GESAP Plus bank whereas the 540 questions in the Standard bank will not change.

GESAP Standard and Plus are for individual learners while the Mentor option is for Training Directors managing GI education for fellows and Alliance is group purchase for institutions and group practices.

No. On June 1, 2025, the question bank from 2024 is replaced with a new question bank. This ensures you have the latest, most relevant questions given changes to guidelines, evidence-based research, therapeutics, etc.

Yes, in this scenario, on May 31, 2026, access to GESAP Plus would end.

Correct, GESAP Standard gives you access to more questions and access never goes away. However, the content stays the same and is not updated annually as it would be when purchasing a subscription to GESAP Plus.

In 2027, GESAP Standard would reflect an updated question bank with questions deemed current, relevant, and effective for 2027. Not only are GESAP questions reviewed for accuracy and relevance, we also review them for difficulty, distractor effectiveness, discrimination index, etc… These are all measures of effective questions.

GESAP Standard is the same structure as previous versions of GESAP but the questions in this iteration of GESAP are all new. Additionally, this version of GESAP gives you more flexibility  in how you use GESAP to stay current in the GI endoscopy field. It's up to you! Do you want to see questions based on a specialty, like you did in prior versions of GESAP? Or just see questions related to recent guideline changes? Maybe you'd rather have a GESAP question pushed to your inbox 2-3 times/week? Or, you may be the type that would rather just dive right in and take a practice Board exam to see where you want to focus first? All of this is possible with GESAP Standard in addition to earning 95 CME/MOC credits.

We expanded our GESAP offering to meet the needs of a wider, more diverse range of users. We understand how this may make things more confusing for those who are familiar with the previous versions of GESAP. Feel free to contact email education@asge.org if it would be helpful to talk through which option would best meet your needs.
