The 2007 ITE will be administered Oct. 12 to Oct. 20, 2007

The Allopathic In-Service exam is written by ABIM. The ABIM is the society which produces and administers the IM board which you take after completing residency. They are, however, a sub-set of the ACP.

It is rumored that the ITE is used in the application process for fellowships, this however is not allowed according to the APDIM. "The IM-ITE Steering Committee has written to subspecialty program directors to remind them that the IM-ITE results are not to be used as part of the fellowship selection process and that the results should not be requested from either the applicants or from their program directors"
​

The test is written and administered by the American College of Osteopathic Internists (good luck finding any information on their website pertaining to the test) The test is generally administered early March. the ACOI does appear to be either the same organization or a sister organization to the AOBIM which administers the Board exam after residency.
