The American Board of Health Physics held its Summer Board Meeting in Tampa 14-15 June 2002.

The 2002 Examination
The Part I and II exams were successfully produced and were given on Monday, 17 June. The Board extends its thanks to all of the members of the examination panels for their many hours of hard work in producing a successful examination for 2002.

Progress on Reengineering of Part II Exam
The Ad Hoc Part II Panel held workshops at the midyear meeting in Orlando and the annual meeting in Tampa. Question-writing workshops were also held at a number of other locations around the country. The Ad Hoc Part II Panel is making progress on question development and on building the examination bank, but we are falling behind our originally anticipated schedule. Any CHP may submit questions for the reengineered Part II Exam. Interested CHPs should contact George Vargo, Chair of the Ad Hoc Part II Panel, or me for more information and for copies of training material. A transition plan and schedule are being developed to merge the two exam panels involved in preparation of the existing and the reformatted exam and plan for a phased transition from the current format to the proposed new format. The earliest that a fully reformatted exam may be implemented would be in 2005. A poster on the reengineered Part II exam was presented at the ARSCE meeting in Tampa. The poster described types of questions that would be included in the reformatted exam. Handouts of this material are available on request.

Closing the Part II Exam
The Board voted to close the Part II exam beginning with the 2003 exam. Questions will be required to be returned at the end of the Part II exam and will no longer be posted on the Web. This action is required in support of the transition to a reformatted examination.
