Mexican ENARM: performance comparison of public vs. private medical schools, geographic and socioeconomic regions

This study aimed to compare the performance in the National Assessment for Applicants for Medical Resi- dency (ENARM in spanish) of private versus public medical schools, geographic regions and socioeconomic levels by using three different statistical methods (summary measurements, the rate of change and the area under the receiver operator characteristics [AUROC]). These methods have not been previously used for the ENARM; however, some variations of the summary measurements have been reported in some USA assessments of medical school graduates.
