The Academy is hearing from a number of individuals who are just learning
about the change in the CPM Exam by ABC. In case you missed the
announcement in the Fall issue of ABC's Mark of Merit newsletter or the
Almanac, here is some basic information about the change:
CPM CHANGES PLANNED
The Board of Directors has approved changes to the format and content of the
practitioner Clinical Patient Management (CPM) examinations. The changes
will be implemented at the upcoming exams in December 2000.
The changes to the exam will help ABC meet several goals. The new exam will
more closely align with the description of a practitioner practice outline
in the new 'Practice Analysis of the Disciplines of Orthotics and
Prosthetics.' The new format will place an emphasis on patient-candidate
and examine-candidate interactions and will eliminate the vast majority of
the fabrication segments of the exam.
The examination committee expects to reduce the candidate's length of time
at the exam from the current three days to approximately six hours. The
change will eventually allow ABC to test more candidates and should reduce
the number of candidates who have to be deferred from one exam to the next.
The cost for the candidate's personal travel and housing will be reduced as
will the length of time spent away from work and family.
