The Point-of-Care Testing Professional Certification exam was developed as part of a collaborative effort involving dozens of point-of-care testing experts throughout North America, both in the United States and Canada. These professionals were selected to represent clinical testing, test manufacturers, academia, and consultants. Each of these experts developed and submitted questions designed to test competencies in key point-of-care testing areas. Those who were involved in developing the exam include:
