The In Training Examination is a national and yearly exam administered by the American Board of Emergency Medicine to all emergency medicine residents in the USA. It helps to evaluate a resident’s progress in obtaining the fundamental knowledge to practice independent emergency medicine. This study helps to point out the effects of a 40 hour board review lecture course on the resident in-training examination in emergency medicine.
A 40 hour board review lecture course was designed and implemented during the weekly 5 hour long resident conferences during the 8 weeks preceding the in-training examination date in 2006. Attendance was mandatory at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) standard of 70% or greater. A positive result was considered to be a 10% increase or greater in the resident’s individual national class percentile ranking among their national peers for their class year for the emergency medicine in-training examination.
According to the ABEM website ,persons having higher In Training Exam scores possess higher chance of passing the initial qualifying examination to be certified emergency medicine physicians than residents with lower exam scores.
