Gapdx

Measuring whether preclinical curricula cover what board exams declare as examinable.

Gapdx is a dual-anchor measurement instrument for medical education. It audits curricula against COMLEX-USA and USMLE as co-equal reference standards — systematically, reproducibly, at the lecture level.

IRB approved Touro University Nevada, College of Osteopathic Medicine Phase 1 — Criterion Standard Construction

Source-anchored

Every claim in the system traces back to a byte range in the NBOME Blueprint and the USMLE Content Outline. No AI-only authority — humans attest.

Dual-anchor

COMLEX-USA and USMLE are held as co-equal anchors. The research pilot is osteopathic; the instrument is not.

Reviewer-attested

Independent faculty reviewers attest every claim and every crosswalk. Inter-rater agreement (Cohen's κ) gates the criterion standard.
