Information for Submitting Questions
The
Officers and Directors of the ABCP strongly encourage and
welcome the submission of potential PBSE and CAPE certification
exam
questions from all members of the perfusion community.
All question items must be in standard format
and in compliance with the ABCP guidelines for examination
development. In addition, all questions MUST be supported by
at least two
references
(textbooks or peer reviewed journals) in order to be eligible
for consideration.
While
the ABCP appreciates all submissions—due to examination
security—the acceptance or rejection of any item cannot
be revealed to the original author. All submissions will
become the sole property of the ABCP.
The form for submitting questions to the
ABCP is available in MS Word format by clicking here.
The completed form should be sent as an email attachment
to abcp@abcp.org.
The ABCP, on behalf of all CCPs, thanks you
for your input and your efforts to help improve the certification
process.
GUIDELINES
FOR DEVELOPING EXAMINATION QUESTIONS
- A multiple choice
question includes a clearly stated problem (the stem) and
four plausible alternatives (one correct response
and three incorrect distractors).
- The stem should
be meaningful by itself and should be relevant to current
perfusion techniques.
- Only one response
should be correct and the remaining three distractors should
be plausible.
- Each question
should be fully-referenced with two up-to-date academic resources
(within 10 years).
- The question
should be typed on the form with correct spelling and grammar.
- "All of the above" and "none of the above" as
responses are discouraged.
