MethodDesign. The study was based on a randomized, blinded, crossover design. One third of the physicians set standards for the cases used in the evaluation and later saw SPs portraying these cases in their practices. Another third of the physicians saw the SP cases first in their practices (performance) and later in the MSE (competence), while the last third saw the SP cases in the reverse order.Physician Participants. Originally, it was planned that the standard-setting group would include internal medicine specialists as well as family physicians. Therefore, 136 family physicians (FPs) and 48 internists, the majority of whom were full-or part-time faculty of the local medical school and who also had community practices, were selected as potential participants. Sixty-three physicians (49 FPs and 14 internists) replied affirmatively to a mail request for volunteers. The FP responders were then randomized into one of the groups. Group 1 physicians became the standard setters. Group 2 physicians undertook the examination and later saw the SPs in their practices (exam-practice). Group 3 physicians saw the SPs first in their practices and later in the exam setting (practice-exam). All of the internists were placed in the standard-setting group. After the random assignment of the physicians to groups, several of
