A nomogram to predict the probability of passing the American Board of Internal Medicine examination.
Although the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification is valued as a reflection of physicians' experience, education, and expertise, limited methods exist to predict performance in the examination. ⋯ A simple user-friendly predictive tool, based on readily available data, was developed to predict the probability of passing the ABIM exam for internal medicine residents. This may guide program directors' decision-making related to program curriculum and advice given to individual residents regarding board preparation.
