Another purpose vvas to determine whether option weights (used fir scoring) based on the consensus ratings offacult v actual/v predict the choices of well-qualified phy sicians. Experts showed better-than-chance agreement hut with considerable variation from one part of aproblem to another (3 /%C to 73%). Nevertheless, consensus ratings were very accurate predictors of the decisions of endocrinology fi/lows ('correlations from .60 to .97). When scoring weights are assigned to options in patient managetnent problems, consensus (average) ratings of ex'perts are like/v to demonstrate high concurrent validlitYv for vwell-qualified clinicians.Keywords
