“Busy Season” or other specific needs: Time commitment is mostly spread over the year.  Most questions are of moderate urgency, so committee members will need to respond to requests for response in a timely fashion.

Function/Description:

1. Duties of this committee shall be to certify eligibility of applicants requesting examination by the College and to provide information regarding certification and to review and report on Resident Registration submissions and active resident Annual Reports. 

Committee Member Time Commitment (approximate): 0.5-2 hours per week

“Busy Season” or other specific needs: Time commitment is most significant at the end of summer (review case logs from residents who are part-way through their programs), and at the end of the year (review case logs from residents who submit credentials to take the ACVAA certifying exam).  Outside of these times, there are occasional questions for the committee, but time commitment is much less.
