This study examined score comparability between in-person and remote proctored administrations of the 2020 Internal Medicine In-Training Examination (IM-ITE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysis of data from 27,115 IM residents revealed statistically significant but educationally nonsignificant differences in predicted scores, with slightly larger variations observed for first-year residents. Overall, performance did not substantially differ between the two testing modalities, supporting the continued use of remote proctoring for the IM-ITE amidst pandemic-related disruptions.
