Abstract

Background: Designing and conducting residency exams have been the province of type I universities since 2005, based on the plans of the Medical Education Council. This study compared emergency medical residency pre-board and Board exam results among the universities of medical sciences in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study consisted of 600 questions from residency preBoard exams and 150 questions from Board exams in 2013-2014, as well as 600 questions from residency promotion exams and 150 questions from the Board exam in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 at the Tabriz, Shahid Beheshti, Mashhad, and Tehran Universities of Medical Sciences. All questions were at the level I through III by Bloom’ s Taxonomy. Structural principles were evaluated using Millman’ s checklist. All data were analyzed using SPSS 18 with chi-square tests. Results: The mean percent of more contextualized questions of the questions at Bloom’ s Taxonomy levels II and III in residency pre-Board exam questions was 76. 6% in 2013-2014 and 86. 6% in 2014-2015 among the four universities. In terms of Structural principles, the percentage of Board exam questions that aligned with Millman’ s Structural principles was 100. 0% and 99. 3% in 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, respectively. For the residency pre-Board exam in 2014-2015, the mean Discrimination index was 0. 14 (low), and the mean of the Difficulty factor was 0. 64 (appropriate). Conclusion: Questions at Bloom’ s Taxonomy levels II and III were higher in 2014-2015 in comparison to those in 2013-2014, and the percentage of the correctly-structured questions was high and did not significantly change from 2013-2014 in comparison to that of 2014-2015.
