In-training Examination Requirements and Process

The in-training examination is available to all physicians who are enrolled in ACGME or RCPSC-accredited Emergency Medicine residency programs, and physicians who are enrolled in EM/IM, EM/FM, EM/Peds, and EM/IM/CCM combined training programs.
ABEM mails in-training exam registration information to all residency programs, and the programs verify the residents who will take this In Service Exam. ABEM does not communicate directly with residents in this process.
The results of the in-training examination review are mailed within 90 days of the examination date. The results are sent to the program for distribution to individual residents.
The Inservice Examination is a comprehensive examination that covers the breadth of Emergency Medicine. It is a single-session written examination containing 225 multiple-choice questions and takes about 4.5 hours to complete.
