Re[2]: ABHP Exam, common sense?

     The AAHP Strategic Plan makes a brief mention of computerizing the 
     exam as a goal.  You can view the plan at
     
        http://phantom.ehs.uiuc.edu/~aahp/
     
     I believe there may also have been some discussion in the HPS 
     Newsletter or Health Physics in the past.
     
     I think computerizing the exam would be a great idea.  If the exam is 
     modeled along the lines of the CSP exam, a candidate could sit for the 
     exam any time during the year and would be able to take the exams in 
     more locations if Sylvan Learning Centers were used to administer the 
     exam.

I hear that there are plans to change the format of Part II several 
years from now.    [?2001??]  I am told the new format would be multiple 
choice and short answer questions.  As someone who sat through Part II, 
I know the current format does challenge one.  It will be interesting to 
see if the new Part II format is as challenging.  Then again, maybe what 
I have heard is incorrect??? Anybody out there heard anything official 
about the change?
