How to Study for the Examination - The American Board of ...
Study GuideI.General InformationThe purpose of this study guide is to familiarize the candidate with the examination process leading to Board Certified or Board Qualified classification conferred by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM). The study guide will also cover information related to the Self-Assessment examination (for re-credentialing purposes only). The Qualification and Certification examinations are administered in web-based formats and are offered at Test Centers nationally. Both are designed to measure different cognitive areas. The qualification examination is primarily designed to assess a candidate's breadth of knowledge, while the certification examination is designed to assess the thought processes of the candidate when faced with a number of clinical case presentations. In general, certification questions center on the appropriateness of data gathering for the history and physical examination, the differential diagnosis process, the ordering and interpretation of diagnostic tests, and the adoption of appropriate treatment options and case management regimens. Both portions of the examination focus on experience and clinically relevant situations and avoid recall of obscure facts or eponyms.The Self-Assessment examination, administered in a web-based format, is offered at Test Centers nationally, and consists of 100 questions in a variety of short answer forms, e.g. multiple choice, matching, etc. The self-assessment examination does not include a “passing score”. Candidates are informed of their individual performance and also provided the aggregate data for the self-assessment group for that year. Examinees will receive individual reports of their performance by mail approximately 6 weeks following the final examination access date, as well as aggregate data for the group tested that year. Passing the self-assessment examination is not required to maintain diplomate classification.How to Study for the Examination1.Read this Study Guide to learn as much as you can about the examination process.2.Answer the sample qualification questions presented without looking at the answer key. Then score yourself and note any pattern showing a weakness in any particular subject area. Review the certification question presented.3.References listed on the Suggested Reading List are only one resource and are provided as a guide. They are by no means comprehensive. Candidates are advised to refer to current literature and journals for the most current information on a subject.4.Make time to prepare for the examinations. Cramming and intensive study may not be helpful. Candidates who prepare by careful review are sometimes less anxious during the exam and may perform better.II.Examination ConstructionThe examinations are prepared by the Examination Committee. The Examination Committee is composed of Diplomates representing a variety of geographic and clinical backgrounds, such as private practice, the military, academia, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Committee members are chosen for their expertise in the subject areas. The qualification and certification examination are field tested and evaluated psychometrically to ensure quality, relevance, and clarity. The only questions included in the examination are those that meet these criteria.III.ScoringScoring, the interpretation of scores, and the determination of what constitutes a passing score are the responsibility of the Board of Directors, in consultation with the Board’s psychometricians. On occasion, a question may be double keyed (more than one response is considered correct), or eliminated. The passing score is based upon a percentage of correct responses, and is not done on a curve. Several statistical parameters are utilized to determine the passing score, and it may vary from year to year. Candidates are typically advised of their results within eight weeks of the examination, after scoring has been completed. The Board of Directors does not make the examination available to the candidate after the examination is given.The certification examination consists of a series of questions representing a diversity of clinical situations and subject areas and emphasizing different aspects of clinical acumen. For each question, the Examination Committee has specified a certain number of agreed-upon salient aspects of the case, or “points to pass”. The number of “points to pass” required, for each case presentation, varies depending upon the case.The total number of questions needed to pass the certification examination is predetermined by the Board of Directors. Candidates will be advised at the time of the examination as to the total number of questions comprising the certification examination. Scoring is completed electronically. Upon reporting of examination results, candidates will be advised of the number of questions (clinical cases presented) passed. The Board will not, however, specify individual question results, nor will it make the questions available to the candidates for future review. This policy is necessary to maintain examination integrity.IV.Qualification Examination ContentThe following subject areas are tested to determine Board Qualified or Board Certified classification, along with their approximate proportional representation in the qualification examination. Categories may include imaging, laboratory (including gait studies), pharmacology and special considerations in pediatric and geriatric patients, as is appropriate. Both local and systemic manifestations of podiatrically relevant pathology will be assessed.I)?????? Podiatric Orthopedics (50%): Each section includes the general podiatric orthopedics knowledge that is required to assure the overall well-being of the patient. Within the podiatric orthopedics section each of the following areas will represent approximately 8% (4% of the total exam).? These areas may include neurologic and rheumatologic manifestations of podiatric orthopedic pathology.Biomechanics / Pathomechanics / Orthotics / ProstheticsGeneral OrthopedicsPedorthicsRehabilitation / Physical TherapySurgical CriteriaTrauma / Sports MedicineII)??????? Podiatric Medicine (50%): Each section includes the general medical knowledge that is required to assure the overall well-being of the patient (i.e. primary care/triage). Within the podiatric medicine section each of the following areas will represent approximately 4%, (2% of the total exam.)Cardiology / PulmonologyDermatologyEmergenciesEndocrinologyGastroenterology / NephrologyGeneral MedicineHematology / OncologyInfectious DiseaseNeurologyPeripheral Vascular DiseasePsychosocial / Public Health (includes biostatistics, community health and epidemiology) RheumatologyWound CareThe qualification examination consists of 200 multiple-choice questions. Each question is followed by four or more responses, of which there is a single best response available. Key words in the question stem, such as most, least, only, or except are highlighted to facilitate comprehension. Specifically avoided are questions with responses such as "all of the above," "none of the above," or in which responses are combined, such as "A. and C."Set Questions. On occasion, a modification of the single-item multiple-choice format is presented in a "set" format, whereby a case history is presented in paragraph form, and several multiple-choice questions follow, pertaining to the case history. Scoring of these questions is identical to the single-item format, with each question individually scored.In the qualification examination there is no penalty for guessing, therefore all questions should be answered. Ample time is scheduled for completing the examination. Sample qualification examinations start on page 9. The answers appear at the end of the question section.V.The Certification ExaminationThe board certification examination consists of a variety of separate clinical scenarios that need to be worked through by the candidate. The clinical scenarios and related questions may embrace any of the areas listed in the Subject Outline appearing elsewhere in this document. Candidates are provided with initial patient information and other relevant clinical material from which to work through the case. Each segment of the question is assigned specific scoring criteria. For example, a candidate may receive separate credit for completing an appropriate history and physical, requesting adequate additional studies to determine the diagnosis, making the proper diagnosis, determining the appropriate treatment plan, etc. The particular scoring requirements of a case vary based on the case presented. Sample cases are presented on the ABPM website.SAMPLE BOARD QUALIFICATION EXAMINATION QUESTIONSBelow are sample questions of the type to be used in the qualification portion of the examination.
