Overview
Board review questions project is designed to train medical students and graduates to write an efficient board review question. It enables the potential examinee to step up from merely answering questions to being authors for those kinds of questions. It certainly requires sufficient medical knowledge and a passion for teaching. The process starts by reviewing several resources on the tested material, then following several steps of forming a solid stem for the question, a solid one correct answer and good distractors. Wikidoc has strict rules and regulations against plagiarism. Board review questions are reviewed and discussed by wikidoc scholars in weekly sessions prior to uploading them on the website.
Statement of Need
The race for residency spots in the United States is becoming more competitive year after year. One of the major criteria that program directors have used over the years in selecting between potential candidates are USMLE exam scores. Therefore, medical students and graduates are putting more effort into preparing for the exams in all intuitive ways to achieve the highest scores possible. Wikidoc scholars have explored a new way to be well prepared for the USMLEs and that is to be able to write an board exam question. It takes higher scorers to make this kind of effort.
