[A study of hematology questions on the competitive examination of medical residents 1984, 1985 and 1986].
The recently (1984) introduced new modalities for selecting the residents in France is based upon multiple choice (MCQ) questions (2/3) and written answers to patients managements problems (PMP) (1/3). MCQ and PMP are selected by a group for 8 hematologists from the 42 French schools of medicine. The process of selecting the questions, the major topics explored by these questions, the docimological quality of the questions and the most surprising errors made by the candidates are studied. Results argue for a sustained effort in order to improve the teaching of the basis of hematology in our country.
