TO THE EDITOR:
Garibaldi and colleagues [1] discuss the usefulness and reliability of the In-Training Examination in Internal Medicine (ITE-IM). They note how residents and program directors can use scores to evaluate individual and group performances. We found that the ITE-IM has a strong positive predictive value in identifying residents who pass the certifying examination in internal medicine of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
Since 1988, all residents have taken the ITE-IM during their second year of residency and, since 1993, during both their second and third years. We analyzed the relation between the residents' performance on the ITE-IM during their second year and their ABIM examination passing status on their first attempt. Data were analyzed using chi-square analysis and the Fisher exact test.
