AAHPM and the Board Exam:

AAHPM has no direct role or input into the development of the exams. The Academy follows the model for all board exams in medicine whereby the board is strictly firewalled from the membership organization to preserve the integrity of the exam.  AAHPM, as the membership organization, will continue to develop all test preparation courses and products without any "inside" knowledge about the exam questions. The Academy relies on the publicly published material about the exam (such as the content outline), to develop its products. AAHPM will also communicate updates regarding the certification exam as a service to its membership.
