Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to evaluate a longitudinal assessment program for physical medicine and rehabilitation (LA-PM&R) as a replacement for the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation maintenance of certification examination. DESIGN:In this quality improvement study, randomly selected American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation diplomates were invited to participate in the LA-PM&R. Participants' maintenance of certification scaled scores were compared with LA-PM&R nonparticipants. We examined the association between LA-PM&R scores and maintenance of certification scaled scores and performance on clone items placed on both examinations. RESULTS:There were 2222 American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation diplomates eligible to take the maintenance of certification examination from February 2018 to February 2019. Invitations were sent to 1050 randomly selected diplomates, of whom 448 initially agreed. Three hundred eighteen individuals completed more than two quarters of LA-PM&R participation and took the maintenance of certification examination. Two hundred sixty-six diplomates took the maintenance of certification examination in the same period who did not participate in LA-PM&R. The LA-PM&R group scored higher on the maintenance of certification examination than the control group (P < 0.05). Performance on the two examinations were highly correlated, r = .50, P < 0.0001. On clone items, LA-PM&R participants had 74% correct on the LA-PM&R but 86% correct on the maintenance of certification examination (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The LA-PM&R program leads to better learning and retention of information than the 10-yr maintenance of certification examination.
