Abstract

OBJECTIVE

The authors explored psychiatry clerkship usage of the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Subject Test.

METHODS

U.S. and Canadian psychiatry clerkship directors (N=150) were sent an 18-item questionnaire surveying evaluation and remediation practices.

RESULTS

Of 111 questionnaires (74%) returned, 76 (69%) reported using the NBME Subject Test. As part of the overall grade, the test was granted a mean weight of 31% and a median weight of 25%. Of 72 clerkship directors who use the test for grading, 42% convert the percentile score and 38% convert the subject score. Of 60 clerkship directors who use the test for passing, 72% convert the raw score (mean=58.3, median=58), and 28% convert the percentile score (mean=12.2(th), median=11(th) percentile).

CONCLUSIONS

Most psychiatry clerkship directors use the NBME Subject Test, but no predominant method exists for weighing the test or converting it into a grade.

摘要

目的

作者探讨了美国国家医学考试委员会（NBME）学科考试在精神病学临床实习中的使用情况。

方法

向美国和加拿大的150名精神病学临床实习主任发送了一份包含18个项目的问卷调查，内容涉及评估和补救措施。

结果

在111份（74%）回复的问卷中，76份（69%）报告使用了NBME学科考试。作为总成绩的一部分，该考试的平均权重为31%，中位数权重为25%。在72名将该考试用于评分的临床实习主任中，42%转换百分位分数，38%转换学科分数。在60名将该考试用于确定是否通过的临床实习主任中，72%转换原始分数（平均=58.3，中位数=58），28%转换百分位分数（平均=第12.2百分位，中位数=第11百分位）。
