The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of graduates of international medical schools who seek Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates certification based on accreditation of their medical education programmes. For the self-selected population who took United States Medical Licensing Examinations during the study period (2006-2010), accreditation was associated with higher first-attempt pass rates on some examinations, especially for international medical graduates from schools located in the Caribbean region. In addition, certain essential accreditation standards were associated with better performance on all examinations. This study lends support to the value of medical education accreditation.
本研究的目的是调查国际医学院校毕业生基于其医学教育项目认证寻求外国医学毕业生教育委员会认证的表现。对于在研究期间(2006 - 2010年)参加美国医师执照考试的自我选择人群,认证与某些考试的首次通过率较高相关,特别是对于来自加勒比地区学校的国际医学毕业生。此外,某些基本的认证标准与所有考试中的更好表现相关。本研究支持医学教育认证的价值。
