Certified Medical Publication Professional (CMPP)
Approximately 75 candidates submitted their applications, and 63 individuals sat for the exam during the month of February. Candidates can apply now for the September 2009 CMPP certification exam--the next 30-day testing window.
In order to be eligible for the exam, candidates must meet a minimum set of education and experience criteria.

The exam is given twice yearly at approved testing centers across the United States and Europe, and is open to ISMPP members and non-members. Eligibility criteria and other details related to the examination process are covered in the ISMPP CMPP Handbook, available at www.ismpp.org.
