* Site Administrator :
Each training
program will have one Site Administrator (preferably a
PICU Attending) who will be provided a site-specific log-on
and password by SCCM. This log-on and password will allow
access to the "Admin" area of the exam where they can
sign up their housestaff to take the exam. For this, the
Site Administrator will need the full name and e-mail
address of the resident/trainee. Once signed up for the
exam by the local site administrator, the trainee will
receive a message directly from the system providing him/her
with a unique log-on and password with instructions on
accessing the examination. The Site Administrator will
also be able to view the performance/results of their
trainees on the “Admin” area of the site.
Once a database is functional, they will also be able
to compare performance of their housestaff relative to
their national peer group.
Protecting the log-on and password to the Admin area and
preventing compromise of the content of the examination
are the responsibility of the Site Administrator. Please
contact SCCM (CONTACT INFO HERE) immediately if there
has been a breach of security at your site.
