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.
