Background: The ABIM certification exam is one of the measures to ensure that physicians have the clinical skills for good care delivery. The 5-year average pass rate for ABIM Endocrinology exam is 82%. The pass rate significantly decreased to a nadir of 74% in 2021 and 2022, lowest of all medicine subspecialties. Objectives: To assess the feasibility of text messaging curriculum for fellows and its utility in improving their test performance. Methods: In 2021, endocrinology fellows from 51 programs across the country were invited to participate in our curriculum. They completed a pre-test, joined a texting group via Remind application and received 1 multiple choice question daily (total n = 78). After 15 weeks, they completed a post-test and survey. Paired results from pre- and post-test were compared. Results: A total of 89 fellows from 27 programs responded. Of these, 82 fellows, predominantly females (n = 60; 73 %), filled out the pre-test. On an average, 42 fellows (SD = 12) responded to the questions daily and 57 % of them answered the questions within 24 h. Thirty fellows completed the post-test. The median number of correct responses on the pre-test was 5 (IQR 3–6), compared to 8 (IQR 6–9) in the post-test. There was a significant improvement (p-value |
