ACC’s Benchmarking Exam Drives Revenue

With OasisLMS, the association brought its in-training exam in-house. Scaling participation, gaining insights, and protecting revenue without raising prices.

The Problem

The Educational Foundation

ACC’s training programs offer an annual in-training benchmarking exam that helps fellows track topic-level progress and prepare for ABIM certification.

Scalability Barriers

As participation grew, the third-party testing platform became costly and restrictive, with limited reporting and little insight into learner or program performance.

The Strategic Challenge

How could the association scale its exam and protect revenue without raising prices?

The Impact

Examinees increased from ~2,400 to ~3,700 annually
Participation expanded to ~300 medical training programs
Operational costs remained controlled despite national-scale growth
The exam became the second-largest revenue driver, behind only the annual conference

Results

To control costs, data, and the learner experience, the association moved exam delivery in-house with OasisLMS, supporting thousands of examinees and complex benchmarking.
With OasisLMS, coordinators gained clear dashboards to track topic-level performance, monitor year-over-year progress, and benchmark against national results. The exam became a program improvement tool.
As participation grew, the platform scaled without increasing per-user costs. A later study confirmed the exam also improved certification scores.
What began as an assessment became a program that improved outcomes, generated sustained revenue, and supported future growth.
