In training exam for PGY1?

[CaliforniaBound]

Hello all

Just a quick question about the In training exam. I am currently doing a transitional year before I start my Anesthesia training. A fellow TY found out that she has to take the In training exam this year, and they are sending her a copy of the exam. She is going to Emory for Anesthesia. I wasn't sure if this is a new requirement or if it's always been this way? Just wondering if this is program specific or for all of the PGY1's regardless if you matched into a catagorical or advanced position. Thanks

I don't think so. The IM program I'm doing my prelim year at doesn't make any prelims take the in-service exam, just the medicine categorical interns.

I think the OP was asking about taking the Anesthesiology ITE as a PGY1, not the IM ITE.

This thread talks about it:

in summary, not all programs require it of their prelim residents at different programs.

Thanks Yeah, I called my PD, guess it's hit or miss from program to program.
