The Effect of a Targeted Educational Activity on Obstetrics and Gynecology Resident In-Training Examination Scores.

The objective of this study was to compare the examination scores before and after implementation of a study program based on high yield topics on the Council of Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) In-Training Examination. This prospective cohort study compared scores from academic years 2012 to 2014 of University of Hawai'i obstetrics and gynecology residents who participated in a directed study program based on selected high yield topics from the CREOG Test Item Summary Booklet. Topics were considered high yield if more than 75% of the program residents answered the topic questions incorrectly during the immediately preceding CREOG In-Training Examination administration. Residents were assigned topics to research and present at monthly teaching sessions. The presentations were made accessible in a wiki website. The intervention was initiated in 2012 and discontinued in 2013. The primary outcome was the difference among CREOG In-Training Examination scores before the study program, during the study program, and after the study program was discontinued. Only scores of residents who sat for all three exams were included. Eleven residents were present during the duration of the study period and sat for all three CREOG examinations. During the year of the educational activity, paired individual resident CREOG exams scores increased significantly from the 2012 CREOG administration (mean = 194.7) to the 2013 CREOG administration (mean = 208.2). These findings demonstrate that the CREOG Test Item Summary Booklet and the wiki platform can be used to effectively direct educational efforts resulting in improvements in CREOG examination performance.
