Lack of Agreement Between Subjective Ratings of Instructors and Objective Testing of Knowledge Acquisition in a Urological Continuing Medical Education Course

Abstract

Objective scores from multiple-choice questions before and after a postgraduate course were compared to subjective ratings of the instructors at a 3-day seminar. The objective mean scores after the course were significantly higher than the scores before the course (p < 0.0001). There was no correlation between test results and subjective ratings of instructors.
