Initial Validity Analysis of the American Board of Emergency Medicine Enhanced Oral Examination

Abstract

The American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) has introduced a new testing format for the Oral Certification Examination (OCE): the enhanced oral or “eOral” format. The purpose of this study was to perform initial validity analyses of the eOral format. The two hypotheses were: 1) the case content in the eOral format was sufficiently similar to clinical practice; and 2) the eOral case materials were sufficiently similar to clinical practice. The eOral and traditional formats were compared for these characteristics.
