The Otolaryngology Training Examination
(formerly the Annual Otolaryngology Exam) was designed to be an
educational instrument, to assist individual residents in evaluating
their educational progress as compared with that of other residents
at their level of training.
As such, it is inappropriate for program
directors to use this measure of resident performance as the sole
form of assessment when evaluating residents for advancement. Rather,
it is appropriate for program directors to use the aggregate performance
of their residents when evaluating the strengths and weaknesses
of their educational program.
