The study aimed to determine whether the Family In-Service Training Examination (FITE) and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) scores are predictive of Specialty Board Exam success, and whether the time elapsed between graduation and taking the Specialty Board Exam affects the outcomes.

A descriptive-correlational retrospective study was conducted using chi-square analysis. Data were collected from 35 former Family Medicine residents, who have taken the Specialty Board Exam, via a validated online questionnaire, with data collected from February to March 2025.

Results showed that OSCE scores were the strongest predictor of Specialty Board Exam success. FITE scores also correlated with the exam results to a lesser degree. Notably, there was no significant association between the time from graduation to taking the exams, and exam results suggested that timing does not critically influence success.

It can then be concluded that OSCE has a greater predictive validity as compared to FITE in assessing readiness and performance in the Specialty Board Exams.
