The 1974 paediatric certification process of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada included four CPMPs, in addition to the conventional MCQs and orals. The CPMP's were successfully administered to 160 candidates in eight cities across Canada on the same day. The examination was judged by the candidates to be a better test of clinical skill than MCQs. The CPMP examination did not penalize French-speaking candidates, was economically feasible, and a good security risk. Correlations between MCQ, orals and CPMPs, indicated that each examination measured some aspects of paediatric competence not tested by the others.
1974年加拿大皇家内科医师与外科医师学院的儿科认证程序除了传统的多项选择题和口试外,还包括四项临床问题解决能力测试(CPMP)。这些CPMP在同一天成功施用于加拿大八个城市的160名考生。考生们认为该考试比多项选择题更能有效地测试临床技能。CPMP考试不会使讲法语的考生处于不利地位,在经济上可行,且安全风险较低。多项选择题、口试和CPMP之间的相关性表明,每项考试都能测试出其他考试未涉及的儿科能力的某些方面。
