Hello everyone, the Exam Forum is designed for everyone to ask questions and interact with each other. You don’t have to wait for me to answer the question. Please feel free to chime in and I’ll put in my two cents later.

I am currently updating the How to Study pages so they may not work properly until the end of the day. Due to increased number of users some of the documents weren’t loading so I have seperated the How to Study page into different sections. Normal functionality should be restored by the end of the day. I have also put a limit on the number of packages being sold to preserve bandwidth and server capacity.

Thanks

Hello everyone, a reminder that for every 5 new people you refer who buy something on the website you get a free package C ($99.99 value) for yourself or a friend. When you have referred someone you will get a email notification with “you have referred x out of 5 people”. For people purchasing a package please put the name and email (if available) of the person who referred you so I can send them an email notification. Lately people have been putting “friend” or “colleague” in the referral line. I am a pharmacist not a mind reader so I would greatly appreciate if you put who referred you.

Thanks

Hello everyone, Package D came out this year. If you purchased a Package C last year and had to postpone the exam to this year due to COVID you can upgrade. Just purchase a new Package D (make sure you use the existing members options since you already have a package or you can just use a new email) then email me and i’ll refund your Package C. I’ve had a couple of requests and just wanted to let you know it can be done.

Thanks

Hello everybody, the U of A pharmacy students missed some of their labs on insulin due to COVID.  A class rep reached out to me to create a video to make up for the missed labs and I have posted it on YouTube. It’s a short video on insulin delivery methods mostly but some of the content could come in handy for the exams. You can find it under the video presentations tab.

Hello everyone

Due to the humongous popularity of low carbohydrate diets I have decided to add a study guide on Diabetes Canada Position Statement on Low-Carbohydrate Diets for Adults With Diabetes. It may show up on the exam as it came out in 2020. Please see the chapter by chapter study guide at https://cdestudycourse.com/guidelines-chapter-study-guide/ for more details.

Hello I have posted the answer key to the exam at the end of “Building Competency: The Essentials” at the end of the How to Study Section. Normally you can submit the exam for marking to Diabetes Canada. However due to COVID there have been major staff cuts and I have waited ~9 months for my exams to be marked. Hope you find it helpful.

Thanks

Esmond
