Objectives: The use of long cases for summative assessment of clinical competence is limited by concerns about unreliability. This study aims to explore the reliability of long cases and how reliability is affected by supplementation with short cases.
Methods: We performed a statistical analysis of examinations held by the Royal Australasian College of Physicians in 2005 and 2006 to determine overall reliability and sources of variance in reliability according to candidate ability, case difficulty and inter-examiner differences.
