About the ABFAS Foot Surgery In-Training Exam
According to the ABFAS, the In-Training Exam covers the diagnosis of general medical problems and surgical management of pathologic foot and ankle conditions, deformities, and/or trauma, and related structures that affect the foot, ankle, and leg.
Format
The In-Training Exam is made up of two sections: a didactic exam and a CBPS examination.
The didactic examinations are designed to measure clinical knowledge acquired in podiatric medical school and in residency. They are multiple-choice computerized adaptive tests (CAT). The questions become progressively more or less difficult as the examination establishes your level of knowledge.
The CBPS examination presents a simulated case that describes a patient’s condition and may include medical history, images, and other pertinent information. This section is designed to measure case management skills including patient examination, data gathering, and critical synthesis of collected clinical data to arrive at a diagnosis and/or treatment

Questions involve diagnostic, intraoperative, and perioperative care of the podiatric surgical patient pertaining to foot surgical procedures.
