Hospital Medicine CAQ


Recommended Posts

Anybody hear information regarding this new and upcoming CAQ?  Do you plan to take it?  Why or why not?

Currently weighing taking this vs. waiting if they develop a CAQ for the medicine subspecialty I work in.  I doubt this would increase my scope of practice, compensation or privileges at my primary place of employment.  Primarily would be for myself and act as an additional credential if I were to move on.


Key Dates:


  • Sept. 11, 2014 - Deadline for submitting the exam application
  • Sept. 15, 2014 - Hospital Medicine CAQ Exam offered nationwide

really the CAQs should be something you qualify for by experience, sit for, and pass.

when I took mine I did zero special studying. I figured if I can't pass it after 25+ years in em from er tech to medic to medic instructor to em pa then there is something wrong with the test.

having a CAQ shows what you already know, not what you crammed to learn the week before the test.
