On Saturday morning the group was introduced to Dr. Gerald Rosen, the Psychometrist hired by IASI to see us through the development of the SI Certification Exam.We are lucky to have Dr. Rosen with us on this as he is the expert on creating exams for small organizations like ours and creating practicum exams.He has worked with the Nurse Midwifery Certification, National Exercise Trainers Assoc., and the World Institute of Pain, among many others.The group had a lot of questions about how SI could be fairly adjudicated in a written exam.After explaining the testing development process in detail, Dr. Rosen was able to assure everyone that the process itself eventually gets organizations where they need to go.
He will help us evaluate whether a practicum will be necessary.

Dr. Rosen, the professional we have retained to help us write the exam, made it clear to us at the SI Faculty meeting that without a certification exam we did not have a leg to stand on as regards legislation, licensing, or maintaining a distinct identity.
