The birth, life, and death of a cytopathology board examination question
Have you ever wondered how a particular cytopathology question ended up on your anatomic pathology primary certification examination or the cytopathology subspecialty certification examination? This is how it happens.
The validity of high-stakes certifications, such as those administered by the American Board of Pathology (ABPath), is supported by psychometric evidence.1 The qualifications of the individuals who write and review the examination items (i.e., questions) and the process by which the items are reviewed, edited, improved upon, curated, and eventually eliminated are of paramount importance to the validity of the examination.2
