    "abstract": "Introduction: Eligible residents during their fourth postgraduate  year (PGY-4) of emergency medicine (EM) residency training who seek  specialty board certification in emergency medicine may take the  American Osteopathic Board of Emergency Medicine (AOBEM) Part 1 Board  Certifying Examination (AOBEM Part 1). All residents enrolled in an  osteopathic EM residency training program are required to take the EM  Resident In-service Examination (RISE) annually. Our aim was to  correlate resident performance on the RISE with performance on the AOBEM  Part 1. The study group consisted of osteopathic EM residents in their  PGY-4 year of training who took both examinations during that same year.\nMethods:  We examined data from 2009 to 2012 from the National Board of  Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME). The NBOME grades and performs  statistical analyses on both the RISE and the AOBEM Part 1. We used the  RISE exam scores, as reported by percentile rank, and compared them to  both the score on the AOBEM Part 1 and the dichotomous outcome of  passing or failing. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was  generated to depict the relationship.\nResults: We studied a total  of 409 residents over the 4-year period. The RISE percentile score  correlated strongly with the AOBEM Part 1 score for residents who took  both exams in the same year (r¼0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54  to 0.66). Pass percentage on the AOBEM Part 1 increased by resident  percent decile on the RISE from 0% in the bottom decile to 100% in the  top decile. ROC analysis also showed that the best cutoff for  determining pass or fail on the AOBEM Part 1 was a 65th percentile score  on the RISE.\nConclusion: We have shown there is a strong  correlation between a resident’s percentile score on the RISE during  their PGY-4 year of residency training and first-time success on the  AOBEM Part 1 taken during the same year. This information may be useful  for osteopathic EM residents as an indicator as to how well prepared  they are for the AOBEM Part 1 Board Certifying Examination.
