Clinical Practice Evaluation Schedule

All Evaluation registrations are processed on a first come, first served basis. Candidates are encouraged to apply as early as possible as availability is limited. 

Exact details regarding locations and session times will be provided upon registration.

Candidates must be aware that due to clinic availability and the number of candidates applying, evaluations are usually scheduled on weekends, including Saturday and Sunday. Session dates may also include the preceding Friday or Monday following the scheduled weekend.

Candidates are scheduled for one day only. Candidates are not permitted to select a specific CPE date/day unless the CPE Application Form received is accompanied by a Medical Accommodation Request Form. Candidates must also be aware that due to reasons beyond the NDAEB’s control, evaluation dates at specific sites may change after the application deadline. In such cases, the NDAEB will advise candidates as soon as possible. While scheduling changes rarely occur, candidates should plan accordingly.

Before registering, please read the CPE Candidate Handbook available to view and download on this site.
