The American College of Zoological Medicine’s Education
Committee is once again sponsoring an exam preparation and study course

What information will be discussed?
A brief introduction to the American College of Zoological
Medicine (ACZM), the credentialing process, and an overview of the ACZM
board exam itself will be discussed. Time allowing, study and
test-taking strategies will also be reviewed. A special focus will be
given to any new changes to the ACZM exam, including grading and Job Task Analysis (JTA) updates.
Anyone with any interest in becoming board eligible or taking the ACZM
examination would be expected to benefit from this section, especially
those not familiar with college and the board examination.
Multiple review topics will be presented, allowing for
discussion time with ACZM-board certified diplomats. All lectures will
be focused in-depth reviews of a topic pertinent to zoological medicine,
including the most up-to-date published information within the last
five years (see schedule below). Lunch will be provided
in addition to coffee breaks, to allow opportunity for networking and
sharing experiences/personal study strategies. Following the lectures,
examples of mock multiple-choice, essay, and slide exam questions will be given and discussed.
