August 2016 The American Board of Pediatrics 2013-2015 Pediatric Training Program Pass Rates 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 2013 to 2015 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 is 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 all four following conditions: 1. They were first-time takers of the 2013, 2014, or 2015 certifying examinations in general pediatrics (repeat takers are excluded). 2. They completed training within the three-year span displayed, and were eligible to apply for certification. 3. The final year of training is in general pediatrics or a combined training program such as pediatrics and internal medicine. 4. They 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 2013, 2014, and 2015 examinations. However, confidence intervals are reported only if a program has at least ten residents who meet the above criteria. In addition, programs with fewer than five examinees across three years will only list the number eligible, so that the anonymity of examinees 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.
