ICAP Test

I recall from the ICAPGEN conference that there was some discussion about making the "Test" part of the accreditation process more accessible - perhaps even offering it on line. I think the main…Continue

Comment by lindsey bayless on May 28, 2010 at 9:16am: Do we need to re-register if we are already registered? I haven't seen anything indicating whether it needs to be redone- maybe I missed it. I am enjoying the information and discussions and would feel bad if I miss out. Thanks for all you are doing.

Comment by Kelly Summers, AG on May 28, 2010 at 7:26am: I encourage all of you to register at our new website: www.icapgen.org
Only those that are registered will continue to receive Mentoring emails and updates. The "Forum" area is a great place to find others researching in your same area. You may wish to trade some research projects in order to gain experience in all the states in your US region or International area.

Comment by Kelly Summers, AG on May 4, 2010 at 9:44pm: I just sent it to Tristan to put on the website. Maybe it will be there tomorrow.

Comment by Peg A Ivanyo on May 4, 2010 at 9:01pm: Probably a question that has been asked before; if so, I'm sorry. Where do we find the international version of the experience pages? I can only find the link for US/Canada form.

Comment by Christine Baird on May 3, 2010 at 9:16am: Thank you for the information.

Comment by Kelly Summers, AG on May 3, 2010 at 7:31am: Washington D.C. is part of the Mid-Atlantic area. We are trying to be consistent with the areas including a list of states. Because Washington D.C. is not a state you do not need to create an experience table for Washington D.C. in the Mid-Atlantic area.

Comment by Christine Baird on May 2, 2010 at 6:34pm: In the mentoring class handouts Washington D. C. is listed in the Mid-Atlantic region, but on the new ICAPGen site Washington D. C. is not listed in the Mid-Atlantic region. What information is correct?

Comment by Patty McIntyre on April 16, 2010 at 9:43am: Thanks for the information!

Comment by Tristan Yeaman Tolman on April 16, 2010 at 8:53am: The luncheon is closed. Tickets had to be purchased by 12 April.

Pre-registration for the conference is closed but on-site registration will be available starting Tuesday. Registration will be located in the West Upper Mezzanine level of the Salt Palace convention center.

Comment by Patty McIntyre on April 15, 2010 at 4:36pm: At our mentoring class on Tuesday, they encouraged us to go to the ICAPGen luncheon at the NGS Conference. Is there another way to sign up and pay for the luncheon since the NGS site has closed registration?
