The Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) Task Force of the American Academy of Ophthalmology has reviewed the present OKAP examination and addressed the goals of this resident-in-training examination. Simultaneously, the American Board of Ophthalmology has been assessing its Written Qualifying Examination (WQE) as a certifying tool.
The history of the OKAP examination is chronicled along with a discussion of the goals of this examination as a stimulus for resident education.
The new OKAP examination is structured specifically for residents-in-training and is now administered separately from the WQE. The OKAP examination is moving in the direction of a criterion referenced examination based on a defined content outline. Twelve subtest areas are tested. Future goals are to improve subtest reliability and increase feedback to residents and program directors.
美国眼科学会的眼科知识评估项目（OKAP）特别工作组对现行的OKAP考试进行了审查，并阐述了这项住院医师培训考试的目标。同时，美国眼科委员会一直在评估其书面资格考试（WQE）作为一种认证工具。
记录了OKAP考试的历史，并讨论了该考试作为住院医师教育激励手段的目标。
新的OKAP考试是专门为住院医师培训设计的，现在与WQE分开进行。OKAP考试正朝着基于明确内容大纲的标准参照考试方向发展。测试了12个分测验领域。未来的目标是提高分测验的可靠性，并增加对住院医师和项目主任的反馈。
