* 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.
