Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Our objective was to determine whether performance on the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Training Program Self-Assessment Examination (TPSAE) predicts subsequent performance on the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (ABEM) certification examination. The TPSAE results were closely associated (r = 0.57) with ranking on the ABEM examination. Those with scores <65% on the TPSAE had <50% chance of ABEM certification, whereas those with scores >84% correct had >90% chance of certification. The TPSAE is a useful predictor of later ABEM certification.
