How are the PRITE scores used?

PRITE (Psychiatry Resident-In-Training Examination) scores are one of many items that are used to assess the competency of psychiatry residents. It allows the training director compare each student on how they compare amongst the residents in their own class as well as how they compare to other psychiatry residents across the US/Canada. Some residency programs will put a student in an academic remediation program if they score low on the PRITE to help the student increase their knowledge and competency.

The scores are also used by Training directors to help adjust education to make their programs more effective in teaching psychiatric knowledge to their residents, so there are multiple ways that the PRITE reports are used by the student and the institution.

The PRITE can be an important test during psychiatric training, so it would be advisable to study for the PRITE. Here at psychQB, we have over 600 questions to help psychiatric students study and prepare for the PRITE.
