ABA Part 1 score was used as the dependent variable. Categorical demographic predictor variables included gender, under-represented minority status, and type of medical degree. Quantitative academic predictor variables included first-attempt scores on United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Steps 1 and 2, annual ABA In-Training Exam (ITE) scores, and biannual Basic Science Examination (BSE) scores. Predictors that correlated significantly with the dependent variable were entered into stepwise linear regression analyses. | Results: In our analyses, only the USMLE Step 2 score was a significant pre-residency predictor (B=0.169; SE=0.031, p\u003C0.001) . Scores on ITEs were significant predictors at every time point. In the final regression model using all available measures during residency, the most recent ITE (B = 0.627; SE=0.090; p\u003C0.001) and BSE (B=0.096; SE = 0.047; p=0.046) scores were significant predictors. The model accounted for 52% of the variance in the outcome variable, with 50% of the variance explained by ITE score alone. The model had a specificity of 0.83 and a sensitivity of 0.82 for predicting passing the ABA Part 1 exam.\u003Cbr>Conclusions: First-attempt scores on the USMLE Step 2 examination and the CA-2 ITE are moderately strong predictors of anesthesiology board examination performance, and may help target residents who are at risk of failing.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Anesthesiology board examination, in training examination, residency training, USMLE |\n| --- | --- |\n\nIntroduction  \nPassing the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) Part 1 (Written) examination is one requirement for obtaining board certification in anesthesiology. Anesthesiology residency in the United States is four years in duration, generally consisting either of one year as a preliminary or transitional intern followed by three years of focused anesthesiology training, or as a four-year program, with non-anesthesia rotations comprising the vast majority of the first year. The ABA Part 1 examination is taken following completion of these four years of residency training. Candidates who fail this examination must retake it and often feel compelled to invest in supplemental board  \npreparation courses or materials. Failing the ABA Part 1 examination may also affect their career plans or delay advancement. Passing the Part 1 examination is required in order to register and sit for the Part 2 board examination, which is an oral examination that typically occurs several months to over a year after residency completion. Additionally, low pass rates can negatively impact a residency training program’s ability to maintain accreditation through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and compromise its ability to attract competitive medical students applying for residency.
