ABIM consultant, November 2015

Philadelphia
The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) invited Larry Greenblatt, MD to join a small group in setting the standards for the maintenance of certification exam (MOC). Specifically, the job was to help to set the cutoff point for passing the test. The Board does not use a percentage of test takers (or percentile) to set the passing point but rather it is fixed.

We spent half a day being trained in how to do this and then the next day we spent evaluating hundreds of questions and then evaluating their difficulty which would then be used to set the cutoff. It’s important work. — according to Greenblatt
