摘要：
An experiment of progress testing for postgraduate medical education was evaluated for the psychometric properties and evaluation utilities of its outcome. Psychometric analysis emphasized reliability, construct validity, exam structure, and equating quality, while analysis of evaluation value focused on growth trajectories of several cohorts of residents. The analyses concluded that progress testing for postgraduate education was feasible. The value of progress testing for postgraduate medical education assessment was unique and promising.
