SUBJECT OF EXAMINATION: TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE EVALUATION

READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION THOROUGHLY.
THIS INFORMATION WILL AFFECT YOUR FINAL GRADE!

You will receive a grade and rank on this exam based upon your previous work experience - and how you document the required information. It is critical for you to follow the directions exactly as shown below.

Be specific; vagueness and ambiguity will not be resolved in your favor. Additional, new information that was not referenced on your application will not be accepted after submission of your application.

It is critical that you follow the directions exactly as shown below.

In order to receive credit for continuing education, you must document 90 hours of continuing education (or 9 college credits) within the past 6 years. You must list your continuing education activities in chronological order and indicate the date of participation, the number of contact hours, the topic and the sponsor of the activity in the Continuing Education Chart.

Use THIS LINK to access the chart and attach the chart to your application.

Do not fill out the chart if you do not fully meet the above requirement.

You may be asked to submit supporting documentation as proof to the information you enter through the above link at a later date. Therefore, you should gather your documentation now and be prepared to submit it immediately if requested.

WORK EXPERIENCE:

In order to receive full credit for your work experience as a Physician Assistant you must indicate the date when you were ORIGINALLY LICENSED by the State of New York. If you instead provide the date of your current registration then you will not be given credit for any work experience that pre-dates your current registration.

You must supply all of the information requested on the application for each position you list. If you do not, you may not receive credit for that work experience.

Pay particular attention to the following items:

• The dates of your employment must be in mm/yy format,
• Do not write "varied" or give a range of hours for "Hours Worked per Week." Instead, estimate the number of hours worked in a typical week.
• Use your official civil service title where appropriate.
• Under "Duties," clearly differentiate between Physician Assistant work experience and all other work experience.

Note regarding resumes: Most resumes do not contain the detailed information needed to evaluate your experience. Therefore, the submission of a resume - which is not required - is a supplement to a fully completed application, not a substitute for it. To receive credit for a job, basic information such as employer's address, name and title of supervisor, hours in the work week, final salary, reason for leaving, etc. must be entered in the appropriate areas of the examination application.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CANDIDATE TO NOTIFY THIS COMMISSION, IN WRITING, OF ANY CHANGE OF NAME, MAILING/LEGAL/EMAIL ADDRESS, OR PHONE NUMBER: INDICATE EXAMINATION NUMBER AND TITLE, AND YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

DISABLED VETERANS: Visit our homepage at www.nassaucivilservice.com to view information (including a downloadable credit request form) on a recent amendment to the New York Constitution regarding the award and use of additional credits for certain disabled veterans on civil service examinations.
