All CPEs in 2019 will be administered according to the 2018 MOA. Previous editions of the MOA should be discarded.
The 2019 edition of the MOA includes a few language clarifying changes as well as the below significant changes:
...
Small Animal Medicine
• SAM03 – Candidates will be required to perform 5, rather than 4, skills in part B, resulting in a total of 7 skills to be assessed in this station.
• SAM03 – “interpreting cardiac sounds” and “describing/demonstrating jugular venipuncture” have been reassigned from Part A to Part B.
• SAM03 – Each of the Part A skills will involve the use of a model so that the candidate can physically demonstrate the activity. While candidates will still describe the procedure using a live animal (such as for demonstrating restraint, positioning, or showing landmarks), stuffed animals will be used for candidates to demonstrate the performance of Cystocentesis, Thoracocentesis, and Abdominocentesis. For passing the urinary catheter, examiners should supply a suction tube for the candidate to demonstrate passage of the catheter.
The 2024 CPE MOA is used for exams administered in 2024.
It is your responsibility to read the entire Manual of Administration to ensure that you understand what will be expected of you during the 2024 CPE.
Should you have any questions regarding the new CPE Manual of Administration, please contact the NEB office via e-mail at at neb-bne@cvma-acmv.org.
