Where would I research to obtain answers about the definition,importance of medical proficiency testing?

no where at all.





None, no proven studies of any merit whatsoever.





Basically politics. Us doctors are far too important to be told if we are proficient or not... is the basic stand still.





All studies are biased, at best, and frank deception at worst.





Really a joke, our dept does a ton of this type of "research" and it is without merit.
