Academic and Professional Admission Tools and Outcomes on National Licensure

National licensure scores act as surrogates for subsequent endpoints in medical practice. For national licensure, strong pre-interview screening tests predictive of future cognitive performance exist – that of Grade Point Average (GPA), Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) (Tamblyn, Abrahamowicz, Dauphinee, Wenghofer, Jacques, Klass, et al. 2007). The same does not hold true for national licensure endpoints reflective of personal/professional characteristics. To the same extent, GPA and MCAT does not adequately address the need for prediction of outcomes associated with personal/professional characteristics.
