AAN RITE
The AAN RITE® Residency In-service Training Exam is a self- assessment tool designed to gauge knowledge of neurology and neuroscience, identify areas for potential growth, and provide references and discussions for each.
The RITE is not designed to be a certifying or qualifying examination, and its use in that manner is vigorously discouraged by the AAN.
