摘要: The exact role that the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination plays in resident evaluation remains poorly defined. We have required all residents take annually. An analysis was performed results and Qualifying for 16 who completed their residencies between July 1976 1981. Twelve graduates passed initial Examinations with a mean +/- 1 SEM score 81 2. Four failed 70 0.3. Corresponding scores on final were 42 9 11 6 (p less than 0.001). Each year Scores obtained by significantly higher those failed. Linear regression identified significant correlation graduates' (r = 0.676) 0.760) score. In our training program, correlated well may be used as an objective determinant remedial measures retentions. These data should developed national level. While certification or likely will accomplished residents, goal is to strengthen academic characteristics program produce uniform success Examination.
