What happens if a resident does not pass all 4 modules during residency?

Individuals who do not pass the CORE Exam modules before completing residency training may continue to attempt the module(s) after graduation. Graduated residents with CORE Exam modules outstanding will receive invitations to apply for each CORE Exam during their 5-year eligibility period after graduation. Because passing the CORE Exam is necessary to qualify for the APPLIED Exam, they will not be able to apply for the APPLIED Exam until they complete the CORE Exam. They are considered “board eligible” because they completed training.  Their window of opportunity to become Board Certified is during a five-year period of eligibility that begins at the date of the completion of residency training.
