An integral component for the evaluation of resident's cognitive knowledge is the examination developed under the auspices of the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG). We sought to assess the usefulness of this annual examination from the perspective of both residents and residency program directors. We were particularly interested in comparing the contemporary use of this examination with the original intent of CREOG when the examination was developed in 1968. In addition, we were interested in determining the role of the examination in modifying educational programs. A questionnaire was mailed to all program directors before the 1994 examination and given to all house staff when the examination was administered. The response rate was 55 and 82%, respectively. Overall, the majority of residents (60%) and program directors (58%) found the examination to be an accurate assessment of cognitive knowledge; feedback on examination results varied widely, and residents used a variety of tools to prepare for the examination.
评估住院医师认知知识的一个重要组成部分是由妇产科住院医师教育委员会（CREOG）主持开展的考试。我们试图从住院医师和住院医师培训项目主任的角度评估这项年度考试的实用性。我们特别感兴趣的是，将这项考试的当代用途与1968年CREOG开发该考试时的初衷进行比较。此外，我们还想确定该考试在修改教育项目方面的作用。在1994年考试前，向所有项目主任邮寄了一份调查问卷，并在考试时发给了所有住院医师。回复率分别为55%和82%。总体而言，大多数住院医师（60%）和项目主任（58%）认为该考试是对认知知识的准确评估；对考试结果的反馈差异很大，住院医师使用了各种工具来备考。
