AMERICAN BOARD OF DERMATOLOGY IN-TRAINING EXAMINATION (ITE) An
in-training examination is administered annually online in April (usually the
third Thursday in April) to dermatology residents. The intent of the ITE is to identify knowledge-based strengths
and weaknesses in both the training program and the residents in a
non-punitive manner. Although
participation in the in-training examination program is voluntary, most
training programs participate annually because both training directors and
residents find the ITE to be a valuable educational experience. The format of the ITE includes only the
types of multiple-choice questions that appear on the certifying examination:
i.e., one best answer, matching, and identification of images. The
examination is a 4-hour web-based proctored examination administered through
the individual dermatology residency training programs. In 2009, the In-Training Examination will be
given on Thursday, April 2. Applications
are emailed to training programs in December and the deadline for returning
the applications to the Board office is February 1. The fee is $100 per resident.
For more information, call the Board office at 313-874-1089. The computer
requirements for optimal administration of the online examination are as
