This information is for applicants applying in 2022 (March and September) for the 2023 certifying exam.
ERRATA and UPDATES
- Please note: as of 10/15/2021 the Credentialing Committee has added the Approved Abbreviation "T1, T2, T3 ... etc." as an accepted abbreviation for neuroanatomic localization of lesions to the thoracic vertebral segments.
- Please note: as of 12/13/2021 the Credentialing Committee has added the following requirements for reporting of laboratory values: "When lab work is performed, the applicant must identify the parameters measured; it is not acceptable to write that a clinician ordered a “Chem 8” or “bloods” or “a NOVA”, for example. It is not necessary to report every serum chemistry, CBC, or other laboratory value measured – this is a judgment call for the applicant to make, based on the patient, their clinical signs, and the disease process that is the subject of the Log or Report. However, every value that the applicant chooses to include in the Log or Report must include the reference range. When values are abnormal or outside of the reference range provided, the applicant must explain the abnormality and how it correlates to the patient’s clinical signs or diagnosis."
- Please note: as of 12/23/2021 the Credentialing Committee has added the Approved Abbreviations IU, mmol, and u. These abbreviations (along with those approved on 10/15/2021) are included in the Approved Abbreviation list in the Part 2 application instruction packet (above).
