Abstract

The Korean Society of Anesthesiologists began to take in training examination(Self Assessment) for the residents in April 1989. Two hundreds thirty four participants took the first examination and after that 343 in 1990, 399 in 1991, 455 in 1992 took the examination obviously the actual number is increasing each year. This study was done to see if there is any correlationship between the results of self assessment and board examination in the same population group. Ninety two persons who took self assessment in April 1990 and board examination in Jan 1991 and 108 persons who took self assessment in Sept. 1991 and board examination in Jan 1992 were investigated. In both groups we can see the close positive correlationships between the results of self assessment and written board examination.
