Is this surprising?
High exam scores are an indication of discipline and good prioritisation - factors that evidently reflect on the physician's professional performance.
- marcosdumay 2y agoIt's evidence that those exams are doing something right. Whether it's surprising or not, it's up to you. But it's something that should be measured once in a while.
- zdragnar 2y agoWe (in the US) have spent years deprioritizing standardized testing for college admissions on the (public) justification that they don't reflect potential for success. Likewise, there's been an element of testing = racial discrimination in all sorts of fields, such as: https://fairtest.org/article/legal-attack-biased-firefighter-tests/ https://fairtest.org/article/legal-attack-biased-firefighter... And: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jun/29/connecticut-firefighters-supreme-court https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jun/29/connecticut-fi... The fact that this study alleges a direct link between exam scores and performance is itself bucking the zeitgeist.
