Like some other American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) member boards, ABEM LLSA develops and administers an in-training examination (or In Service Examination). It is offered annually on the last Wednesday in February to all ACGME-accredited and RCPSC-accredited Emergency Medicine residency programs for a small fee. Programs are not required to participate in this examination.
The examination targets the expected knowledge base and experience of an EM3 resident. Unlike other LLSA ABEM examinations, the in-training examination does not have a passing score. It is a standardized examination that residents and program faculty can use to judge an individual resident’s progress toward successful ABEM In Service Examination. There is a strong relationship between in-training and qualifying examination scores. Physicians with higher in-training scores have a higher likelihood of passing the qualifying examination and those with lower scores have a lower likelihood of passing the qualifying examination.
