International Society for Medical Publication Professionals (ISMPP) Announces First CMPP Exam Window Closes, Next Opportunity in September
April 22, 2009 - The International Society for Medical Publication Professionals (ISMPP) completed the first round of testing for candidates for the newly established Certified Medical Publication Professional (CMPP) credential.
Approximately 75 candidates submitted their applications, and 63 individuals sat for the exam during the month of February. Candidates can apply now for the September 2009 CMPP certification exam—the next 30-day testing window.
In order to be eligible for the exam, candidates must meet a minimum set of education and experience criteria. To receive the credential, they must pass the validated 150-item, multiple-choice, computer-based examination administered at an approved testing center. This exam assesses candidates’ knowledge across four content domains related to medical publication planning and development.
The CMPP credential will signify a level of knowledge and experience required to effectively plan, develop, and implement a medical publications program. The CMPP credentialing effort demonstrates not only ISMPP’s ongoing commitment to the medical publication planning profession, but also its mission to support scientific and professional integrity in medical publications.
The exam is given twice yearly at approved testing centers across the United States and Europe, and is open to ISMPP members and non-members. Eligibility criteria and other details related to the examination process are covered in the ISMPP CMPP Handbook, available at http://www.ismpp.org/.
