Stats to brag about!

by

DMU’s podiatric college had some great numbers recently related to the national board & surgical board qualification exams & I wanted to brag a bit about them…

•    The first-time pass rate on Part I of the National Board Exam for the CPMS class of 2011 was 98%. The national pass rate was85%.
•    The first-time pass rate on Part II of the National Board Exam for the CPMS class of 2010 was 93% compared to the national pass rate of 83%.
•    The pass rate for the June 2010 administration of Part III of the National Board Exam for CPMS graduates was 100%. The national pass rate was 89%.
•    The American Board of Podiatric Surgery recently released the first time pass rates for the Foot Surgery Qualification Exam. From 2005-2009 the pass rate for CPMS graduates was 89% compared to 76% for graduates of other podiatric colleges.

Way to go, podiatric faculty, staff & students!!

    You guys are definitely doing something right to be consistently above the fold like that. Don’t think you can beat 100% on the administration portion either, you guys will have to come up with some other goals for that one ;)

    The above result would definitely add another feather to the crown of DMU. DMU have always been in the leading row as compared to others with outstanding results throughout. I wish DMU many more success in the coming time. Thanks for this Stats. Bye.
