Abstract:
We sent questionnaires to clinical instructors and trainees within 2 years of the latter passing the national licensure examination for medical practitioners to investigate their opinions about the examination and to improve its style. Most instructors wanted to change the examination into an ideal style; however, the trainees had positive comments about the present examination. Several problems came to light, including whether the present examination is asking the minimum requirements for initial training and what the necessary actions are for assessing clinical skills. We must take measures to improve the examination.
