Applications for a special test center in December 2008 Part I-Basic Science exam will be accepted only for those candidates also registered for the Part II-Clinical Science examination. Applications for a special test center in April 2009 Part II-Clinical Science, TMOD or Law exams will be accepted only for those candidates also registered for the PAM examination. Since the purpose of these Special Sites is to allow students to continue their rotations without a significant interruption, the priority is to establish test centers near the clinical rotations, however, it may be necessary to travel to a less provincial location based on available facilities and other test center requests.

Requesting a Special Test Center
The National Board must receive the Special Site form with payment at least 2 weeks prior to the application deadline for that exam; although, it is in the best interest of the candidate to submit the Special Site form and fees at the earliest opportunity to increase the likelihood of a test center being established. Special Site test centers will be established only if a site meeting Board specifications is located. The request must be submitted by either:

• An academic institution that has scheduled a student candidate to be on external clinical rotation in his/her fourth professional year during a scheduled examination, or
• A state licensing board to accommodate statute/rule changes

Requests are not accepted from examination candidates.

The Dean/President or College Liaison of an academic institution must submit the following for each candidate:

1. Special Site Application form, completed and signed
2. Confirmation that the candidate has already paid the fee during the online registration.

Fees for Special Test Centers
The $300 Special Site Fee per exam requested is a non-refundable fee used to cover the expenses associated with setting up a special test center. Special test centers established by state licensing boards are offered at no extra charge.

A candidate who pays the special site fee by including it as part of their online credit card registration, should request the test center "Special Site" on page 2 of the online application. The online special site payment must be part of registration, and cannot be made separately, at a later time. Payment is due, with the form, at least 2 weeks prior to the application deadline for that exam.
