ITE Quick Guide

Registering for Your In-training Exam

Your residency director will register you for the ABFAS In-training Exams in the Podiatry Residency Resource (PRR).

Your program must register you for the applicable In-training Exams before you can access your ABFAS profile and/or schedule your exams with Pearson VUE. After they register you, you will receive an email from ABFAS letting you know that you can schedule your exam. Please wait for the email.

• Be sure to complete all information in your PRR personal profile. You will not be able to access your ABFAS profile or schedule your In-training exams until you complete your PRR personal profile.

• If you are not able to access your ABFAS profile or schedule your exams, please first confirm that your residency director or program coordinator has registered you before contacting ABFAS.
