I will be available from 9am to 5pm (Mountain Time in Calgary) on Friday, October 23 for the 2020 Q and A session to answer your questions. For the Q and A session feel free to post your questions on the Exam Forum or email me 2-3 questions per person. I would like to clarify that the questions must be sent from the email address that you used to purchase Package C or D. I will then post the best answer that I can give on short notice. I will endeavor to answer all your questions but please understand there are hundreds of users and only one of me.

The new questions and answers will be visible on the 2020 Q and A webpage once you hit refresh on your browser. PLEASE DO NOT hit the refresh button multiple times as a hundred users on the same page will CRASH THE SERVER for the entire night!!! It will take me 15-45 minutes to answer questions so please only hit refresh every 45-60 minutes.

As a new feature this year I will also be available via Zoom between 1-2 pm and 4-5 pm. If you wanted to ask questions in person please use the links below. The password for both sessions is on the 2020 Q and A webpage

For the 1 pm session the link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81152305940?pwd=dEVBVEluMDhmRm0rdDlqNS9GSUtLZz09

For the 4 pm session the link is:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82590911187?pwd=YXZYYnRKUHdtSjlkbEYvWXpPM21OUT09

Thanks

Hello everyone, for the people writing in October you should be getting an email stating the exam will be moved onto an online platform. It is suggested that you become familiar with the online platform BEFORE writing the exam in October. Additional details from the CDECB will be emailed to you shortly.

A reminder that if you have a question there’s a number of ways that you can get them answered. If you have a question you can post it to the Exam Forum. If you have a difficult question that I can’t answer there is a virtual Q and A session with prominent endocrinologist Dr Pedersen in October. Also the day before the exam I will be online all day with my own Q and A session to answer any questions quickly.  Hope your studies are going well!

Hello everyone, the Question and Answer period with endocrinologist Dr Sue Pedersen has been moved to Tuesday October 13th. This will be a virtual event that anyone can join no matter what part of Canada that you are in. The exact time will be determined closer to the date. This is a great opportunity to ask an endocrinologist to explain concepts or ask complicated questions. Note that this is different from my Q and A period which happens the day before the exam so that I can answer any of your last minute question. For Dr Sue Pedersen’s Q and A please email your questions to cdestudycourse@gmail.com by Oct 6th.

Thanks
