To investigate the impact of a weekly email based board review course on individual resident performance on the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) General Pediatrics Certifying Examination for pediatric residents and, specifically, residents with low ABP In-training Examination (ITE) scores.
Weekly board-type questions were emailed to all pediatric residents from 2004-2007. Responses to board-type questions were tracked, recorded, and correlated with ITE scores and ABP General Pediatrics Certifying Examination Scores.
With regard to total number of questions answered, only total number of questions answered correctly had a significant positive correlation with standard board scores (n = 71, r = 0.24, p = 0.047). For "at risk" residents with ITE scores <or= 200 (n = 21), number of questions answered in PL 3 year (r = 0.51, p = 0.018) and number of questions answered correctly for all PL years (r = 0.59, p = 0.005) had significant positive correlations with standard board scores.
Participating regularly in the email-based board review course, answering board style questions, and answering correctly to board style questions were associated with higher standard board scores. This benefit existed for all but was especially prominent among those with poor in-training examination scores.
研究每周一次的电子邮件基础的董事会审查课程对儿科住院医师的美国儿科学会（ABP）普通儿科认证考试成绩的影响，特别是对 ABPI 培训考试（ITE）分数较低的住院医师的影响。
从 2004 年至 2007 年，每周向所有儿科住院医师发送 board-type 问题的电子邮件。对 board-type 问题的回答进行跟踪、记录，并与 ITE 分数和 ABP 普通儿科认证考试分数相关联。
就回答的问题总数而言，只有正确回答的问题总数与标准 board 分数呈显著正相关（n = 71，r = 0.24，p = 0.047）。对于 ITE 分数<或=200 的“风险”住院医师（n = 21），PL 3 年回答的问题数（r = 0.51，p = 0.018）和所有 PL 年回答的正确问题数（r = 0.59，p = 0.005）与标准 board 分数呈显著正相关。
定期参与基于电子邮件的董事会审查课程，回答 board-style 问题，并且正确回答 board-style 问题与更高的标准 board 分数相关。这种好处不仅适用于所有住院医师，而且尤其适用于 ITE 分数较低的住院医师。
