Two 150 multiple choice question examinations in Psychiatry were taken on a voluntary basis by 150 Canadian residents. The goals of these examinations were to promote skills and interest in self-education, provide detailed feedback to the participants, and to study various parameters which might be related to performance. The residents' self-assessments prior to the examinations, their year of residency training and age were significant predictors of performance. Being male and having enough time to study were also related to high scores. The methods of instruction as well as the studying variables were not related significantly to performance. These findings highlight the importance of self-assessments in the process of evaluation and of listening to residents' self-evaluations and requests for time to study. Increasing the number of self-assessment exercises and clarifying the knowledge requirements for the certification examination are recommended.
150名加拿大住院医生自愿参加了两场包含150道选择题的精神病学考试。这些考试的目的是提高自我教育的技能和兴趣，为参与者提供详细反馈，并研究可能与成绩相关的各种参数。考试前住院医生的自我评估、他们的住院培训年份和年龄是成绩的重要预测因素。男性身份以及有足够的学习时间也与高分相关。教学方法以及学习变量与成绩没有显著关联。这些发现突出了自我评估在评估过程中的重要性，以及听取住院医生的自我评估和学习时间请求的重要性。建议增加自我评估练习的数量，并明确认证考试的知识要求。
