DNP certification Exam

As you may know, academic programs are concerned with Degree Programs,
Accreditation, Certification. and Licensure issues.

You may be aware of an emerging certification dialogue. FYI at this point.

Subject: DNP Certification Exam


Dear Nursing Deans and Directors:

I am writing on behalf of the newly-created American Board of Comprehensive
Care. In order to distinguish DNP graduates who have achieved a high level
of competence in comprehensive care, the Council for the Advancement of
Comprehensive Care (CACC) and the National Board of Medical Examiners
(NBME) have agreed to offer a certification examination that will validate
the advanced clinical competency of these graduates. CACC, founded in 2000,
has established the American Board of Comprehensive Care (ABCC) as its
certifying body.

Advanced practice nurses with national certification in an advanced
practice nursing specialty, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, are
eligible to sit for certification. The exam is derived from the test pool
of the USMLE Step 3 exam for MD licensure candidates. Successful DNP
candidates will be designated as Diplomats in Comprehensive Care by the
American Board of Comprehensive Care.

The first exam will be offered on November 10, 2008. The application
deadline is June 16th, 2008. For further details, please see the ABCC
website: http://www.abcc.dnpcert.org/index.html

We are interested in contacting DNP graduates from your program who might
be interested in taking this certification exam and ask if you would
forward this email to them or provide us with their contact information.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
