Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The United States and Canada both have long-standing, highly developed national systems of assessment for medical-licensure based outside the institutions of medical education. This commentary reviews those programs and explores some of the reasons for their implementation and retention for nearly a century. The North American experience may be relevant to dialog about national or European assessments for medical practice. |
