CERTIFICATION
2011 WQE Deadine Extended
Candidates who completed residency training prior to August 1, 2010 may login and register through October 1 for the 2011 exam. All registrations are subject to additional late fee. The exam will be a five hour, computer-based exam administered at nationally distributed ACT testing locations. Approved candidates will receive more information and instructions about how to schedule a March 29 test appointment in early 2011. Candidates should schedule immediately upon receipt of this notification. Every effort will be made to ensure a requested test site is honored; however, candidates who do not schedule in a timely fashion may not be able to schedule an appointment at their desired testing center. Please keep the Board office informed if you have a change of mailing or email address.
