ISTM Certificate of Knowledge Exam Update

We’re now four months away from administering the first ISTM Certificate of Knowledge exam! The examination will be given on May 7, 2003, the morning of the opening ceremony of CISTM8. All members should have received a Candidate Bulletin of Information (CBI) and exam application form with membership renewal packets, which were mailed out in late November. If you did not receive a packet or would like a CBI and application form, please email you name and postal address to exam@istm.org.

Fees for taking the exam and deadlines in which to register are listed below. Please note an exam discount will be given to all those sitting for the examination who are also registered for the conference! Physicians sitting for the exam will receive $100 U.S. back. Nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants and others will receive $50 U.S. back. These payments will be made in cash immediately following the exam with proof of paid conference registration. Please remember to bring your conference registration receipt with you to the exam-testing site!

The examination, consisting of 200 single-answer, multiple-choice questions, will be given on May 7 from 8 a.m. - 12:45 p.m. at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. Check-in begins at 7 a.m. Everyone should be seated by 7:30 a.m. for pre-exam instructions.

Please email any questions you have about the exam to exam@istm.org. We look forward to seeing you in New York in May!

Sincerely,
Phyllis Kozarsky on Behalf of the Exam Committee
