Multicenter Study
Assessment of resident knowledge: subjective assessment versus performance on the ACR in-training examination.
The authors assessed the ability of faculty and residents to predict the ranked performance of residents on the American College of Radiology (ACR) In-Training Examination. ⋯ Faculty are only moderately successful in ranking resident performances on the ACR In-Training Examination, and a high level of agreement is not necessarily indicative of increased accuracy. The concordance and accuracy of subjective rankings differ among residency programs and classes.
