Developing the Future of Endocrinology
The In-Training Exam (ITE) is the leading self-assessment for clinical endocrinology fellows. Created each year by a panel of expert endocrinologists and educators, ITE features 90 questions designed to gauge how well a fellow is progressing through their clinical education. The exam is a case-based tool that covers all of the topics that appear on the ABIM Board Exam, and is a great resource to identify areas for additional training. The exam is available for proctoring from mid-January to mid-February each year. Join Fellows Training Series so your fellows don't miss out on the premier tool in the field!
