Constructing Good Exam Items To learn how to construct good exam items, see the National Board of Medical Examiners page. Institutions that have faculty who have participated in or held exam-writing workshops: Des Moines University Edward P. Finnerty East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine Robert G. Carroll Florida State University J. Michael Overton Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Richard D. McCabe Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans Michael G. Levitzky New York Medical College Norman Levine Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine The LCME has given several workshops over the past 6-8 years at the College of Medicine focusing on good question writing. Example books are also available as are examples of “best practices.” We have “toyed” with the idea of having lunch-time meetings (once every 2 weeks) where the instructors would get together and write USMLE-type questions as a group - so far this has not been implemented.
