CPH Item Writing Committee

The CPH Item-Writing Committee is comprised of volunteers, primarily CPH, who represent a range of educational backgrounds, expertise, practice experience, ethnicity, gender, and geographic locations.   After receiving training in best practices in item development, the item-writers develop new exam questions (items) to be used in future versions of the CPH exam.  Item-writing is an excellent way to get started with CPH exam development.  For information on becoming an Item-Writer, contact [email protected]

Many thanks for our Item Writing Committee members.
