| - Yes, I
actively prepared for the oral exam. I
reviewed practice questions and made up my own.
I prepared like I was going to an interview and tried to align my
thoughts on topics that I do not deal with on a daily basis at work. (D.E.)
- The CCE prep
course from ACCE has helped me immensely for the oral. I practiced for the oral
by giving myself 15-20minutes and write up a short narrative of the scenario. I
got these questions by asking around in the field of Certified Clinical
Engineers. (B.I.)
- I studied for the CCE oral exam as well for
about 6 months. I took ACCE’s CCE oral
exam prep class, which helped me learn the format of the exam, what to expect,
and provided some example scenarios to study.
I collected about 20 example scenarios from previous prep courses, and I
practiced each of them as if I were taking the oral exam. I would time myself to allow the appropriate
time to write notes after just looking at the scenario, and then I would time
myself responding to the sample questions.
I would only look at one question at a time, so I did not know what
question was next, just like the real oral exam. I typed all my responses and other notes I
thought of after practicing the scenarios, and I reviewed those notes in
preparation for the oral exam. I thought
the oral exam was fair and appropriate for the body of knowledge that Clinical
Engineers should know (K.N.)
- I reviewed
the same materials. I found it fair and appropriate. (M.M.)
- Same as
for Written Exam. Yes, I think the questions were fair and very relevant to the Clinical
Engineering field. (J.)
- Since the
topics covered in the oral exam are the same as the topics in the written exam,
I did not study for the oral exam and just did a few weeks of a quick review
before taking the oral exam. The oral exam was fair and the questions covered a
broad range of CE topics (H.E.)
- To study for
the oral exam questions, I reviewed common problems being experienced in
healthcare today, mainly by reviewing articles, journals, and other
publications. Additionally, I re-reviewed
the study guide and my notes used in preparation for the written exam. (J.M.)
