What is EpiFITE?
The Epilepsy Fellowship In-service Training Examination (EpiFITE) is an epilepsy-specific examination that enables program directors and fellows to determine if there are specific areas where more study and experience are needed.
EpiITE assesses trainee knowledge of epilepsy treatment, identifies areas for growth, serves as practice for (and a mechanism to predict success on) other examinations (such as the ABPN Epilepsy Certification Exam), and provides benchmarking against other programs nationwide.

Exam questions are developed by an expert faculty comprised of epilepsy professionals trained to develop coursework and examinations that challenge the knowledge, competence, and performance of epilepsy trainees. Questions undergo a comprehensive review by a test development specialist to ensure the content is clearly written, educationally significant, and inclusive of necessary and relevant topics.
EpiFITE is an online examination. Program directors or program coordinators proctor the exam to fellows at their home institutions during the designated testing window. More information can be found below in the EpiFITE FAQs.
Following the completion of the exam, participants will receive an electronic report that contains discussion and references for any questions answered incorrectly. Participating programs will be able to download a diagnostic report that includes comparisons to other programs.
