The 2022 CPE MOA will only be used for exams administered after February 2022!
The 2022 edition of the MOA includes a few language clarifying changes as well as the below significant changes:
Necropsy
- The Necropsy Report Form was revised so that candidates are now asked to indicate whether each tissue is normal or abnormal, rather than asking if each tissue is abnormal. Please be sure to use the 2022 Necropsy Report Form for all candidates tested in 2022.
Small Animal Medicine
- SAM02 – Candidates now have a “hard stop” at 35 minutes at which the time for the written portion of the case ceases and the oral portion of the case will begin.
The 2021 edition of the MOA includes a few language clarifying changes as well as the below significant changes:
Radiology
- A statement has been added to indicate that the candidate will be awarded a Fatal Flaw if the radiographs submitted do not include the correct anatomic region for the suspected diagnosis
Equine Practice
- EQ03 – Videos will be used to test candidates’ ability to describe signs of lameness and determine the lame limb. Note that, while candidates will no longer use a live horse for visualization of a lameness, the candidate will still use a horse for demonstration of skills associated with a lameness physical exam and for identification of anatomic structures.
- EQ03 – Candidates will be expected to describe management and/or treatment recommended for the horse based upon the diagnosis.
It is your responsibility to read the entire Manual of Administration to ensure that you understand what will be expected of you during the 2021 CPE.
