The CHP Exam Distance Study Group Is Now Forming

[roseb@gdls.com]

Prospective CHPs:

The January 15, 2000 registration deadline for the CHP Exam is fast
approaching and the CHP Exam Distance Study Group is now forming!

The CHP Exam Distance Study Group (Group) is a "virtual" study group.  The
Group will meet via cyberspace to study and prepare for Parts I and II of
the American Board of Health Physics (ABHP) Certification  Examination -
the CHP Exam.  Past participants in the Group have been geographically
distributed throughout the US and Canada.

The primary purpose of the Group is to provide a focused study cohort for
those who may not have access to formal or informal CHP Exam study groups
or courses.    Anyone interested in sitting for the CHP Exam is welcome to
participate in the Group.  Communication is primarily through e-mail and
the CHP Exam Distance Study Bulletin Board at the AAHP web site at
http://www.hps1.org/aahp/.  Secondary communication can also take place
through telephone, fax, chat, or snail mail.

The Group will provide participants with opportunities to come together to
share expertise, study materials and resources to support participants'
efforts to achieve their common goal: to pass the CHP Examinations and
become Certified Health Physicists.  The Group will engage in continuous
discussion of questions, theory, resources, and references related to the
various exam rubrics as well as discussion of study tips and problem
solution methods.

The Group will run from January 17, 2000 through June 23, 2000.

If you or any of your associates are interested in participating in the CHP
Exam Distance Study Group, please contact Henry Rose (roseb@gdls.com) or
Chuck McLendon (Chuck.Mclendon@tdh.state.tx.us).  Please list your name,
preferred e-mail address, and which part(s) of the certification
examination you will be taking in the body of your message.
