Certification
Measurement Services' Content Expert Panels

Volunteer your time and experience and have an impact

Would you like to play a leadership role in the largest and most prestigious national certification body for nurses? Are you interested in having the opportunity to make a difference? ANCC is now recruiting for Content Expert Panel volunteers.

Each specialty Content Expert Panel (CEP) provides ongoing review and development of the test content outline (TCO) for examinations in their respective specialty areas. The CEP constructs the exam in accordance with the TCO and participates in role delineation studies (practice analysis) once every five years.

We are currently seeking volunteers for the following specialties:

  • Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
  • Adult Nurse Practitioner
  • Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adult Health (formerly known as Medical-Surgical) Nursing
  • Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing
  • Clinical Nurse Specialist in Gerontological Nursing
  • Family Nurse Practitioner
  • Gerontological Nurse
  • Gerontological Nurse Practitioner
  • Informatics Nurse
  • Medical-Surgical Nurse
  • Nursing Administration
  • Nursing Administration, Advanced
  • Nursing Case Management
  • Nursing Professional Development
  • Pediatric Nurse
  • Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

How much time is involved?

Serving as a Content Expert Panel member generally requires participation in two expense-paid meetings per year, each lasting three days, in Silver Spring, MD (Washington, D.C. metro area). Participation in three (sometimes more) conference calls per year is also required. Some at-home review work may be necessary.

One of the many benefits to you

Each year of service on the panel confers a 12.5% reduction in the total number of contact hours of continuing education, up to a maximum of 50%, required for your next certification renewal! One of the most important benefits to many CEP members is the opportunity to play a dynamic role in the ongoing development of professional nursing and your own particular specialty area.
