I agree ever doctor must pass an exam after training. But does it measure what supposed to measure, the reality? Why do we need to take 1-3 months just to prepare for the exam? Do they teach us wrong in a residency? Or, the exam has nothing in common with a real practice? Did doctors 10-20 years ago take a similar exam? Were they worse or better doctors? Okay, new drugs, new interventions. It means more information to deal with. Isn’t it enough? Looks like sadistic deviations. Why would you continuously raise a passing score on Step 3? Okay, more time, more money, to relearn and forget most of the tested materials which are out of the scope of your practice again? But why? Okay, maybe a good exercise for a brain, hopefully will prevent from early Alzheimer...
Would the exam be the same if NBME board members had to take it every year?
