Applying CMS across all Exams (ACE)

Participants will enhance their knowledge in how to apply critical thinking to identify issues and violations within examination assignments and practice root cause analysis through in-class case studies. The final portion of the ACE course is designed to help the participant form appropriate corrective actions based on root cause analysis with tie backs to one or more CMS components.
