Child Psychiatry Fellowship PRITE ?

[swifteagle43]

My program doesnt have a child fellowship so I had few questions.

1) Do Child Psychiatry Fellows take PRITES?
2) If someone is entering as 4th year resident/1st year child fellow - will they take Child PRITE + General PRITE?

Thank you to the community ahead of time.

Yes, child fellows take the PRITE.

My program had any fellow who had not passed the adult board (mostly 4th years) take both the adult and child PRITE.

Yep. And who cares anyway? A program can't refuse to promote you based on a poor prite, and it's some minimally decent review for boards. I would argue if one can't pass a prite without studying/cramming for the Prite, then that person needs to do whatever remediation the program director comes up with, anyway.
What I'm saying is: don't let an extra prite exam be the deciding factor on whether you do fellowship or not.

Don't worry about score, jus save them to study for boards.

Your program will likely provide to you a copy of all the old prites anyway. The child prite reuses basically all of their past questions. It's a complete waste of time.
