To derive and validate a methodology for academic ranking of allopathic medical schools in order to track the development of emergency medicine (EM) at academic medical centers.
A methodology for institutional ranking according to NIH research grant funding was derived by using a well-known multiaxial ordinal ranking of all Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME)-accredited allopathic schools in 1990-91 as the criterion standard. This methodology was validated against the same annually updated criterion standard in 1995-96. Both ranking schemes were first stratified by quartile, then aggregated pairwise by contiguous quartiles to develop a 3 x 3 concordance matrix.
Ranking by NIH grant funding produced concordance between all 126 schools in the derivation set and 123/124 schools in the validation set.
NIH research grant funding may be used as a valid methodology for broad categorization of allopathic medical school academic rank. This strategy should therefore serve as a suitable means of following the development of academic EM over time.
推导并验证一种针对opathic医学院校学术排名的方法，以追踪学术医疗中心急诊医学（EM）的发展情况。
通过将1990 - 91年所有 Liaison 医学教育委员会（LCME）认证的opathic学校的著名多轴序数排名作为标准，得出一种根据美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）研究资助资金进行机构排名的方法。该方法在1995 - 96年以相同的年度更新标准进行验证。两种排名方案首先按四分位数分层，然后按连续四分位数两两汇总，以生成一个3×3的一致性矩阵。
按NIH资助资金排名在推导集中的所有126所学校与验证集中的123/124所学校之间产生了一致性。
NIH研究资助资金可用作opathic医学院校学术排名广泛分类的有效方法。因此，该策略应作为随时间追踪学术急诊医学发展的合适手段。
