Sean Langenfeld: The ABSITE is much more effective as a tool to gauge a resident’s longitudinal progress and preparedness for the QE
Sean Langenfeld, Professor of Surgery at University of Nebraska Medical Center, shared a post on X:
“Fantastic work from the American Board of Surgery. Please see the pictures below, as well as the link in the retweet.
The ABSITE was not designed to be a high-stakes exam that impacts PGY advancement or fellowship placement. It is much more effective as a tool to gauge a resident’s longitudinal progress and preparedness for the QE.
Improved test utilization means graphs like this are shared widely, and percentile scores go away. As a resident whose percentile score likely assisted quite a bit with my fellowship match, I was admittedly hesitant about its omission, but the explanation from the ABS is spot-on. It could have burned me just as easily.“
