A multimodal approach improves American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination scores.

Background: There are several factors that influence ABSITE scores, but the optimal approach for remediation of poor scores is unclear.

Methods: A structured academic curriculum and focused remediation program (FRP) were implemented to improve academic performances. Within a 15-year period, ABSITE and American Board of Surgery qualifying exam (ABS QE) results were compared before and after the establishment of the program using a paired T-test.
