Best of Five MCQS for the European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (Oxford Higher Specialty Training) 2021 (Thomas Marjot, Colleen McGregor, Tim Ambrose, Simon Travis, Aminda De Silva, Jeremy Cobbold) The European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology is a fully validated assessment of knowledge of gastroenterology and hepatology as laid down in the European Curriculum for Gastroenterology and Hepatology Specialty Training Programme known as the “The Blue Book”. The Blue Book produced by the ESBGH is in its 2017 edition and is revised every 3 to 5 years. It is available on http://www.eubogh.org Sleisenger and Fordtran’s Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease, 10th Ed, 2015 (M Feldman, Laurence S Friedman) Candidates from Europe, UK, and the rest of the world can take this high quality examination which ensures that certified specialists have sufficient knowledge of gastroenterology and hepatology. British society of gastroenterology – Subsection ‘clinical’ and ‘guidelines’ https://www.bsg.org.uk/clinical/bsg-guidelines.htmlColleges have followed best educational advice as to how to assess such complex clinical skills. MRCP(UK) has developed the ‘best of five’ format question to test real clinical scenarios and offer five feasible alternative answers to a diagnostic, investigation or management problem. One option is always agreed to be the most correct. This format reflects the clinical dilemmas and options available in practice. The full curriculum is tested by following a blueprint that ensures that a fixed proportion of all subjects are selected for each diet of the examination. The reliability of the examination is ensured by providing sufficient questions (200) to make certain that the assessment would give reproducible results in each cohort of candidates. The standard for each diet is set in advance by a standard setting group who consider the complexity of each individual question and award it a mark, which then contributes to an overall criterion referenced pass mark for that diet.

The aim of training in medicine is to create future consultants with the knowledge, skills and attributes required to provide high quality care to patients. Several recent pressures have resulted in changes to medical training. As a consequence, assessment has become more important with the need to test both the knowledge base and workplace skills to ensure that trainees are ready to face the complexity of demands they will meet as a new consultant. Until now, the pass mark for all SCEs has been calculated using a compromise of two standard setting methodologies, the Angoff and Hofstee methods. This standard setting practice differs from the methodology used in our other written examinations, MRCP(UK) Part 1 and Part 2 Written, which use statistical test equating rather the Angoff-Hofstee compromise. From September 2020, the pass standard in all SCEs will also be set using test equating; this will help to ensure greater consistency in standard setting methodology across all written examinations delivered by MRCP(UK). The next examination will be on 03 April 2024 and can be taken in centers globally including all member, associate and observer countries of the European Section and Board and Section in Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Candidates will be able to indicate their preferred centers' test country and city when applying online. In the rare occasion that the preferred venue is not available the closest alternate venue will be offered.
