Hello everybody the digital copy of Building Competency: The Essentials is now available. It is available as a 1 year subscription and can be found at https://orders.diabetes.ca/products/copy-of-buy-a-banting-house-brick-2

As discussed in the How to Study section, it is nice to have but not necessary for the exam.

Thanks

Hello everyone, I’ve just been informed that the new digital version of the Essentials will be delayed for 2-3 weeks. Again its not necessary for the exam but is a good resource. See the How to Study section for details on the Essentials.

Hi everyone, just a FYI that the deadline to apply for the CDECB exam or submit your credit portfolio has been extended to February 15th.
Thanks
Esmond

For those of you who have already registered for the exam, you should have received an email from the CDECB saying you have the option of delaying the exam till 2023 due to COVID fatigue. If you have bought a package before Jan 27 then you can extend your membership till 2023. Just email me confirmation that you are taking the exam in 2023 and them email me next year to remind me to reactive your account.
Thanks

Hello everyone, just a FYI that there will be a new digital version of the Essentials coming out in February sometime. ICI medical is still working on their website. They are still working out the price and how long you will have access to the digital version. I’ll post more info here once I receive it. Remember that the Essentials is a great diabetes resources but not necessary for the exam. The most important document is the 2018 Diabetes Canada guidelines.

Thanks
Esmond

Hello everyone, a reminder that the deadline to apply to the CDECB to write the CDE exam is February 1. If you miss the deadline then you will be writing in 2023 not 2022.
Thanks
Esmond

Hello everyone, I’ve had a number of people put friend or colleague in the “Did Anyone Refer You” box of the registration page. For every 5 people a person refers they receive a free package D and I use that box to count how many referrals a person has made. So please put the name and email of the person. If you put friend/colleague into the box I wont know who referred you and that person won’t get credit. I’m a pharmacist not a psychic.
Thanks
Esmond

Do not start Practice Exams 1 and 2 for the next hour or they will be completely blank or the questions will be completely out of order. I am currently updating them. Please wait one hour after this post before starting.

Thanks
Esmond
