Certification
The purpose of the ACLAM examination is to determine qualification in laboratory animal medicine. Consistent with this purpose, the passing standard for the test must separate individuals who possess knowledge at the level commensurate with Diplomate status from those whose knowledge is below that level. Essentially, the examination is used only to make pass/fail decisions. ACLAM’s position is that all who pass are equally qualified, and so no numeric scores will be released.
