Hospital Evaluation

How It Works:

The exam is processed through a remote proctoring company called Secure Software.This company monitors and records all activity during the exam for later review.

Software Secure is a dedicated group of individuals who believe in improving the distance learning experience through the preservation of academic integrity. Software Secure and PICC Excellence value your right to privacy and will not share any of your information with outside sources without your written permission.

Standards:

Examinations are important mechanisms for evaluation of student learning. Cheating on examinations is contrary to both academic integrity standards and to ethical standards. Guidelines for the CPUI Exam require that no outside materials or written or verbal communication be used during the exam.

Practice Exam:

The Practice Exam is an exercise to determine your understanding of the Remote Proctor process and to insure your computer is compatible with the live exam process.

Upon successful completion of the exam, applicant prints a certificate showing successful completion of the 3 CE credit hours.
