Following successful pilots in 2006, knowledge-based assessments for those engaged in specialty training have been developed and implemented in 11 medical specialties, by the Federation of Royal Colleges of Physicians in partnership with the specialist societies. Over 400 physicians have been involved in a project that has required recruitment and training of up to 25 question writers in each discipline, and the constitution of examining boards and standard setting advisory groups in each specialty. The assessments (now known as the specialty certificate examinations) are delivered by computer-based testing in centres throughout the UK and overseas. This paper analyses the outcome of 14 examination diets, sat by 948 candidates, of whom 72% were occupying UK numbered training posts. A total of 786 candidates sat the examination in the UK, 162 in overseas centres. Pass rates among UK trainees have generally exceeded 80%, with reliability coefficients well in excess of 0.8.
继 2006 年成功试点之后，皇家医师学院联合会与各专业学会合作，已在 11 个医学专业领域为参与专科培训的人员开发并实施了基于知识的评估。超过 400 名医生参与了这一项目，每个学科都需要招募和培训多达 25 名命题人，并在每个专业领域设立考试委员会和标准设定咨询小组。这些评估（现在称为专科证书考试）通过遍布英国和海外的计算机化测试中心进行。本文分析了在英国和海外中心参加了 14 次考试的 948 名考生的考试结果，其中 72%的考生在英国的编号培训岗位上。共有 786 名英国考生参加了考试，162 名考生在海外中心参加了考试。英国学员的通过率普遍超过 80%，可靠性系数远高于 0.8。
