Computer Applications in Medical Care. Computers in Medical Education: Question Database Management and Program for Generation of Examinations in National Board of Medical Examiners Format

摘要

A microcomputer-based program has been developed to maintain a database of exam questions from which examinations can be administered in a standard format — based upon the question types of the National Board of Medical Examiners. This program maintains databases on each exam given and also on the use of questions from the master question files. Selection of microcomputers and peripherals and of operating systems and languages was done to provide economy and enhance portability.
