This article describes the systematic approach used by the ABPD. The ABPD conducted its practice analysis in 4 phases: (1) preparation, (2) focus group meetings, (3) survey, and (4) examination blueprint development. Phase 2 resulted in 150 job tasks relevant to entry-level pediatric dental practice, organized into 10 domains. In Phase 3, 8,730 pediatric dentists received an electronic survey, with 10% returning a completed survey. Respondents rated tasks in terms of frequency and risk, which were analyzed to determine the combined relevance of each task. Phase 4 organized a final list of tasks within each domain and the recommended weighting of domains by certifying examination. The ABPD practice analysis created a comprehensive outline of the job tasks an entry-level pediatric dentist is expected to perform. The ABPD plans to use the results to help develop the examination content for continuing certification and will use a similar process every 5 through 7 years to update the examination content blueprints to ensure their continued relevance to the practice of pediatric dentistry. The ABPD used a process known as practice analysis to ensure that its examinations and continued competency assessments measure the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for safe and effective clinical practice. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
