Exam Development Teams

NC-CME subjects the CCMEP certification process to continuous improvement and rigorous psychometric analysis. Each form of the exam is written, reviewed, beta-tested and validated by CME professionals who have volunteered their time and expertise in support of the certification program. All team members submitted non-disclosure agreements prior to being approved to write/review test items.

Exam development and administration is under the supervision of test development specialists from Schroeder Measurement Technologies and the NC-CME Exam Development Committee: Scott Hershman, MD, CCMEP, Chair; Gabby Cruze, CCMEP; Mimi Holman, MS, RN, CCMEP; Chris Kriz, MHSA, CCMEP; Marilyn Peterson, MA, CCMEP; Alicia Reese, PharmD, CCMEP; Judy Ribble, PhD, CCMEP; Brooke Taylor, MPH, CCMEP.

The CCMEP exam is updated periodically to ensure currency of approximately 160 test items. Exam Form 1 was in place from June 2008 through June 2009; Form 2, from September 2009 through June 2011; Form 3 will be accessible in September 2011.
