Ten physicians encoded 2,310 test items that constituted three previously administered certification-recertification examinations of the American Board of Family Practice. Analysis of the data for the major content of one of these certification examinations suggests that a profile based on this classification system might provide a specialty board, the residency programs, and candidates for certification with important information not produced by discipline labels or disease names. This classification system may allow a board to define more effectively the content of its examinations, monitor other requirements for certification, and communicate its standards to the medical profession and society.
