Development of the Knowledge-Based Standard for the Written Certification Examination of the American Board of Anesthesiology.

Slogoff, Stephen; And Others

Academic Medicine, v67 n2 p124-26 Feb 1992

Application of a knowledge-based standard in evaluating a written certification examination developed by the American Board of Anesthesiology established a standard of 57 percent correct over two years' examinations. This process is recommended for developing mastery-based (rather than normative-based) success criteria for evaluation of medical candidates. (Author/DB)
