The Dunning‒Kruger effect in resident predicted and actual performance on the American Board of Emergency Medicine in‐training examination
EM residents demonstrated accurate self-assessment of their performance on the ABEM ITE; however, the DKE was present when comparing their self-assessments to their peers. Lower-performing residents tended to overestimate their performance, with the most significant DKE observed among the lowest-performing residents. The highest-performing residents tended to underestimate their relative performance.
