This report contains information about the general pediatric
certifying examination performance of programs accredited by the Accreditation
Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the Royal College of
Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC). For each residency program listed
in the following pages, the ABP reports the cumulative pass rate for the
2009 to 2011 certifying examinations in general pediatrics. US programs
are listed first by state abbreviation, followed by Canadian programs. Within
state or province, programs are listed alphabetically by city. This report
will be updated once a year.
What data are reported?
For each program, this report lists the number of candidates who
took the examination, the number who passed, the number who completed
training during the reported time period, the percent that passed,
and the 95% confidence interval. The confidence interval identifies
the range within which the program pass rate would fall 95 out of
100 times if its residents were repeatedly tested. For example,
a program with a 75% pass rate and a confidence interval of ±
15% has very high (95%) assurance that its "true" pass rates are
neither lower than 60% nor higher than 90%. The confidence
intervals must be taken into account in interpreting these data.
In making comparisons between individual programs, the range of
pass rates defined by the confidence intervals should be compared
rather than the specific percent passing in each program.
Which residents are included in the calculation
of a program's pass rate?
Candidates are included in the computation of a program
pass rate if they meet four conditions.
They were first-time takers of the 2009, 2010, or 2011 certifying
examinations in general pediatrics (repeat takers are excluded).
They completed training within the three-year span displayed, and were eligible to apply for certification.
The final year of training is in general pediatrics or a combined
training program such as pediatrics and internal medicine.
Candidates must have received a satisfactory final evaluation
of clinical competence from the training program.
Which programs are included in this report?
Programs are included in this report only if they are currently
accredited by the ACGME or RCPSC. Programs with fewer than ten residents
meeting these criteria are included if they were accredited long
enough to produce residents who met the training requirements for
the 2009, 2010, and 2011 examinations. However, confidence intervals
are reported only if a program has at least ten (10) residents who
meet the above criteria. In addition, programs with less than 5 examinees across 3 years will only
list the number eligible, so that the anonymity of examinee can be maintained.
What are the limitations of the data?
Many factors influence a program's pass rate. Some
are directly attributable to the program such as curriculum, faculty,
and resident selection criteria. Others relate to examinees and/or
the examination and are beyond the control of the program. Examinee
factors include work habits during training and preparation for
the examination, while examination factors include the specific
content sampled in any year's test.
Other limitations may also affect the precision of
these data. First, the sizes of the confidence intervals vary with
the number of trainees, so caution should be exercised in interpreting
the pass rates, especially for programs with fewer than 25 examinees
in a three-year period. Second, if significant changes in the program
have occurred within the three-year period, pass rates may not fully
reflect these changes. Third, data are presented at the title program
level and may include residents trained in affiliated hospitals/institutions.
