Examinations
Certifying Examination 2008
and CDQ Examination 2008 will be administered on Saturday, June 7,
2008, at Prometric testing centers throughout the United States.
The National Board of
Medical Examiners mailed examination scheduling permits to all
eligible candidates on March 1, 2008. If a candidate has not
received a scheduling permit, then
he/she should contact NCCAA, providing a complete, up-to-date
mailing address, so that a duplicate scheduling permit can be mailed
to the candidate.
Late applications
for CDQ Examination 2008 have been mailed to eligible practitioners using the address
that NCCAA had on file for each
practitioner.
It is critically important
that NCCAA have every applicant's and every practitioner's current
mailing address on file. Please see the Mailing Addresses
section below.
Uniform Certification Date
At its July 2007 meeting, the National
Commission established a uniform certification date of June 1st for all
practitioners. NCCAA will use
the June 1st date in all verifications of certification, in all
communications and publications, and on the NCCAA web site. New certificates with the June 1st date
have been mailed to all certified practitioners.
Continuing Medical Education
The new, uniform CME registration
deadline is June 1st. All CME registration materials and complete
payment of the CME registration fee must be received and processed
by NCCAA on or before June 1st in order for a practitioner to be listed
as certified on June 2nd. NCCAA advises practitioners to submit
their materials and payments well before the June 1st deadline in order
to assure processing before their certification expires. Practitioners must maintain current CME registration for every
two-year registration period.
The CME
grace period has been eliminated. Reinstatement of certification has been eliminated. Practitioners who
are not currently certified should
contact NCCAA as soon as possible to resolve their certification status. CME audits
for 2007 have been completed. The next CME audit period begins in
June 2008. Complete information is included on the new CME Submission Form which
is available on the
Downloads page.
Mailing Addresses for Practitioners and Examination Applicants
NCCAA uses the US mail to
keep practitioners informed about their certification, CME registration,
CDQ Examinations, and other important matters. NCCAA also uses the
US mail for all communications with Certifying Examination applicants.
NCCAA maintains one mailing address on file for each practitioner and
each examination applicant.
NCCAA rules and regulations require that certified anesthesiologist
assistant practitioners and candidates for examination notify NCCAA of
any change in their mailing address. This requirement is the
sole responsibility of the examination candidates and AA-C
practitioners.

following individuals has been returned by the US Postal Service as
