简介：本研究的目的是确定医师助理教育认证审查委员会 (ARC-PA) 委员审查的认证文件审查是否具有一致性。每次要求继续认证时，项目都需要提供书面自学报告，以评估其是否符合医师助理教育认证标准。该报告由两名委员评审员审查，并提交给整个委员会进行讨论和认可决定。方法：编写两份自学报告并提交委员审查。委员们被要求使用核对表来确定项目是否符合每项标准。委员们的回答会被给予一个数字分数，按部分进行汇总，并相互比较以确保一致性。结果：两个项目中标准的所有部分均具有统计显着的参与者间可靠性 (p < .05)。结论：ARC-PA 委员对自学文件的审查具有显着的一致性。除一处例外外，阿尔法大学和欧米茄学院标准各部分的审阅者均表现出统计上显着的组内相关系数。有初步证据表明，对标准的遵守程度支持审查的一致性。
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine if there is consistency of review of accreditation documents reviewed by commissioners of the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC‐PA). A written self‐study report is required from a program each time it requests continuing accreditation to assess its compliance with the Accreditation Standards for Physician Assistant Education. This report is examined by two commissioner reviewers and presented to the entire commission for discussion and accreditation decision. Method: Two self‐study reports were created and given to the commissioners for review. Commissioners were asked to determine the programs' compliance with each of the standards, utilizing a check‐off sheet. The commissioners' responses were given a numerical score, summed by section, and compared to one another for consistency. Results: There was statistically significant interrater reliability (p < .05) in all sections of the Standards in both programs. Conclusion: There was remarkable consistency of review of the self‐study documents among ARC‐PA commissioners. With only one exception, the reviewers for each of the sections of the Standards for both Alpha University and Omega College demonstrated statistically significant intraclass correlation coefficients. There is preliminary evidence that the degree of compliance with the Standards supports consistency of review.
