Swanson, David B.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n9 suppl pS7-9 Sep 1991

Using a national sample of recent medical school graduates (n=12,213), a study of predictive validity of the National Board of Medical Examiners test parts I and II found strong correlations between performance on those parts and part III, supporting the test's use, at least in part, for selection of residency applicants.
