    Author: Cohen GA, Nocton JJ.
    Journal: WMJ; 2009 Oct; 108(7):349-51. PubMed ID: 19886582.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine if a difference in medical knowledge exists between pediatric residents attending a private practice continuity clinic and pediatric residents attending an academic continuity clinic, as measured by the American Board of Pediatrics in-training examination. DESIGN: A retrospective evaluation of scores on the American Board of Pediatrics in-training examination was performed, comparing the scores of residents who attend a private practice continuity clinic and those who attend an academic continuity clinic. RESULTS: No significant difference was found in test scores of the 2 groups of residents for each year from 1999 to 2003. There was no significant difference between the mean differences of scores from the PL-1 year to the PL-3 year. Both groups showed improvement in scores betwen the first and last years of residency. CONCLUSION: It is unlikely that there is a significant difference in medical knowledge between pediatric residents attending a continuity clinic in a private practice setting and pediatric residents attending a continuity clinic in an academic setting.
