Information for CIDP Exam
Who Can Take the Examination?
The CIDP Knowledge Examination is open to physicians, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals interested in testing their knowledge in CIDP. Grifols personnel who have been extensively trained in CIDP diagnosis and treatment may sit for the exam. Employees of pharmaceutical companies may not take the examination until 2019, unless they are employed at Grifols.
Individuals taking the exam will provide their current employment situation, title, and name of employer. Individuals also agree they understand that passing the CIDP examination does not certify clinical expertise or confer any clinical privileges, and does not qualify the individual to perform or interpret needle EMGs or NCSs.
Will this knowledge assessment examination fulfill my Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirements for self-assessment?
Yes. Both the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR) have approved this activity for Self-Assessment MOC credit.
