National Certification Exam

Purpose:To identify academic and demographic variables related to a successful outcome on the national certification exam for occupational therapists (National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy [NBCOT] exam) at one academic institution with the expectation that it could be replicated with multiple institutions.Method:Binary logistic regression analyses were used to analyze three sets of academic and demographic predictors of the pass/retake outcome on the NBCOT exam.Results:Results of these analyses indicated that overall grade point average (GPA) and outcomes of specific academic coursework that was focused on practice application predicted passing the NBCOT examination on the first attempt.Conclusion:Results from this study illustrate the complexity in predicting performance on the NBCOT examination and the need to expand the predictors included in future analyses.

Passing Score

Abstract Passing the Praxis Examination in speech-language pathology or audiology can be a difficult task. A passing score is the entry to a list of requirements for national certification (CCC-SLP, CCC-A) and for state licensure in the United States. This article will provide current information on the examination and address barriers to success that have been identified over the years. A call to action may serve to refocus efforts on improving access to success for all test-takers regardless of race/ethnicity, ability, or geographic location.

Telepractice technology allows greater access to speech-language pathology services around the world. These technologies extend beyond evaluation and treatment and are shown to be used effectively in clinical supervision including graduate students and clinical fellows. In fact, a clinical fellow from the United States completed the entire supervised clinical fellowship (CF) year internationally at a rural East African hospital, meeting all requirements for state and national certification by employing telesupervision technology. Thus, telesupervision has the potential to be successfully implemented to address a range of needs including supervisory shortages, health disparities worldwide, and access to services in rural areas where speech-language pathology services are not readily available. The telesupervision experience, potential advantages, implications, and possible limitations are discussed. A brief guide for clinical fellows pursuing telesupervision is also provided.

Current Detection

In spite of the increased use of streaming current detectors (SCDs) as a means of monitoring and/or controlling coagulant dosage, knowledge regarding fundamental workings is incomplete. This paper provides an initial attempt at predicting and verifying functioning compared to electrophoretic mobility. The instrument's components -- the sensor and the signal processor -- are first described. Equations modelling electro-double layer behavior in its sensor are then developed. Simplifying assumptions include the use of a capacitance model of the double layer and a triangular velocity profile for fluid within the sensor's annulus. More complex modelling approaches are also suggested which incorporate the Gouy-Chapman electro-double layer model and an exact solution for the velocity profile. Experimental results confirm predictions of the simplified model under conditions of low potential. A monotonic relationship exists between streaming current electrophoretic mobility, which is required for its use as a control parameter. Deviations from model predictions are suggested to be due to charge characteristics of the sensor surfaces themselves.
