The Specialty Certification Examination is an important part of the assessment of medical education. However, thestep 2 skill examinations of 26 medical specialties in Korea are insufficient with respect to achieving the objective ofpractical examinations that evaluate clinical skill and competence. Among the current step 2 skill examination methods,picture testing using slides or reading of pathology slides/radiologic images is more suitable for testing cognition andknowledge than for testing performance. The oral examination has low reliability because of its relatively short testingperiod and absence of scoring criteria. In addition, the Specialty Certification Examination is a high-stakes test and theperformance during the training course is not reflected in the skill examination. We have reviewed the various skillexaminations including clinical practice examinations, objective structured clinical examinations of the United Statesand Canada, and work-based assessments of the United Kingdom. Based on the review, we suggest some plans forimproving the Korean Specialty Certification Examination.
