Establishing Content Validity of a Novel Written Examination to Assess Medical Students on the Surgery Clerkship A Berlin MD, A Reinert BA, A Swan-Sein MEd PhD, R Nowygrod MD, A Fingeret MD

Agenda Needs assessment Exam Development Exam Design Methodology Results Discussion

Needs Assessment Historical assessment of students – Clinical evaluations – Unstructured oral exam – NBME surgery subject exam Goals of new evaluation tool – Objective and reliable – Congruent with educational objectives – Based on ACGME core competencies

Exam Design Novel Exam: Clinical Skills Exam (CSE) – 20+ clinical scenarios 5 randomly selected per exam – Short answer or essay response – Administered over 3 hours – ExamSoft computer software Grading – Rubric – Senior residents

Example 1 Identify operation Obtain surgical consent Determine order Describe steps shown

Example 2 Generate differential based on history Describe risk factors Interpret radiographic study Identify next step in management

Methodology July, February, 2013 – n = 262 Analysis – Descriptive statistics – Multivariate analysis Comparison data for validity assessment – USMLE Step 1 and 2CK – NBME Subject Exams in Medicine and Surgery – Clerkship clinical evaluations – Clerkship order

Results: Descriptive Statistics – CSE Content and Score Distribution

Results: Trend Analysis – CSE and NBME Surgery Subject Exam

Limitations – Study Generalizability Statistical analysis

Future Directions Future directions – New content – Open access – Computer algorithm based grading – Use as formative assessment mid-clerkship

Conclusions CSE is a useful adjunct to NBME surgery subject exam – Independent of clerkship order – Course goals and objectives – ACGME core competencies
