2:15-3:30 From Job Task Analysis to Test Day and Beyond: The Lifecycle of a Credentialing Exam

Vita R. Greco, ICE-CCP

Senior Director of Psychometric Services, Professional Testing Corporation

The purpose of certification in neurodiagnostic practice is to help ensure safe, competent care for patients. Especially in the context of protecting the public, achieving EEG and IONM certification demonstrates that a practitioner has met defined standards for practice, but the process is often misunderstood. This presentation provides an overview of the certification exam lifecycle, describing how these exams are developed and maintained while addressing common misconceptions and clarifying how the process actually works. Topics include job task analysis, test blueprint/specifications, item writing and review, exam development, standard setting, exam delivery, scoring & reporting, and ongoing psychometric analysis and evaluation. By increasing transparency into how credentialing exams are designed, validated, and continuously improved, this session provides attendees with a clearer understanding of the rigor and safeguards that support certification programs and ensure adherence to accreditation standards.

Executive Director, Committee on Accreditation for Education in Neurodiagnostic Technology

As part of an initiative by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) to transition all accreditation Standards to a new template, the Committee on Accreditation for Education in Neurodiagnostic Technology (CoA-NDT) is updating the Standards and Guidelines. This session is designed for neurodiagnostic educators and program leaders who want to better understand the revision process, anticipated timelines, and the potential impact on accredited programs. Attendees will gain practical insight into how to prepare for upcoming changes, strategies for maintaining compliance during the transition, and the resources and support available through CoA-NDT. Whether your program is preparing for accreditation, continuing accreditation, or future program development, this presentation will provide valuable guidance for navigating this important transition.
