Popis: Background: Modern postgraduate training in medical microbiology requires more objective tools to monitor knowledge during the training than interviews by responsible educational supervisors. Aim: Evaluation of the feasibility and validity of a progress test (PT) to enable formative assessment of the knowledge development in a postgraduate training in medical microbiology. Methods: Data consisted of the scores of all trainees attending the annual PTs in the 5-year postgraduate Medical Microbiology training in the Netherlands from 2005 until 2010. Knowledge development as measured by the PT was analysed per PT by one-way ANOVA over year groups. In addition a longitudinal analysis (repeated measures ANOVA) was applied to the scores of the subgroup of trainees who participated in a four year sequence of PTs. Results: Up until the fourth training year residents who were further advanced in their training, in general scored significantly higher than trainees of lower years (one-way ANOVA, p
