This report contains information about the internal medicine certifying examination
performance of programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education (ACGME). For each residency program listed in the following pages, the American
Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) reports the cumulative pass rate for the 2012 to 2014
certifying examinations in internal medicine.
What data are reported?
For each program, this report lists the number of candidates that took the examination, the
number who passed, the percent that passed, and the 95% confidence interval. The
confidence interval identifies the range within which the program pass rate would fall 95 out
of 100 times if we repeatedly tested its residents. For example, a program with a 75% pass
rate and a confidence interval of 15% has very high (95%) assurance that its "true" pass
rates are neither lower than 60% nor higher than 90%. The confidence intervals must be
taken into account in interpreting these data. In making comparisons between individual
programs, the range of pass rates defined by the confidence intervals should be compared
rather than the specific percent passing in each program. For your information, the
distribution of program pass rates is included at the end of the pass rate listing.
Which residents are included in the calculation of a program's pass rate?
Candidates are included in the computation of a program pass rate if they meet four
conditions.
1. They are first takers of the 2012, 2013, or 2014 certifying examinations in internal
medicine (repeat takers are excluded).
2. They completed training in the year of or the year before the first attempt (i.e., a
candidate who took the 2014 certifying examination for the first time must have
completed training in 2013 or 2014).
3. The final year of training is in internal medicine or a combined training program such as
pediatrics and medicine.
4. Candidates must have received their satisfactory final evaluation of clinical competence
from the training program.
Which programs are included in this report?
Programs are included in this report only if they are currently accredited by the ACGME;
however, pass rates are reported only if a program has at least ten (10) residents who meet
the above criteria.
