Response Time Patterns and Physician Performance in Longitudinal Assessment for Continuing Certification

• In Event: Longitudinal Credentialing

Abstract

This study aims to explore relationships among response time, item difficulty, and physician performance in longitudinal assessment for continuing certification. Shorter response time is associated with better physician performance. Four distinct physician groups of test-taking behaviors are identified from cluster analysis. Implications about the “less-engaged group” are discussed.
