Internal Medicine In-Training Examination® (IM-ITE®)
The IM-ITE is a web-based self-assessment exam modeled after the ABIM Certification Examination. It’s administered annually at each residency program training site during a prescribed examination window.
Evidence shows that the IM-ITE is the strongest-known predictor of ABIM Certification Examination performance.¹

Tips for Educators
Use the score reports to provide educational counseling to residents, develop curricula, and validate the need for planned curricular changes. View the percentage of questions answered correctly by each examinee and their percentile rank. Review each resident’s list of structured educational objectives associated with incorrectly answered questions to develop personalized learning plans.
Register residents at all postgraduate training years to sit for the exam to improve test-taking skills and track learning progress longitudinally. Faculty can also participate t o identify their own learning gaps.
Residents with MKSAP subscriptions can import their missed IM-ITE educational objectives into their MKSAP Digital learning plan.
