"Healthcare Americana!" Reception - Presented by NCIDQ & AAHID
As part of the Healthcare Design Conference to be held this November near Washington, DC, NCIDQ and the American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers (AAHID) will present a journey through American history and interior design.

On Saturday, November 8, 2008, from 7-10 p.m., NCIDQ and AAHID will host "Healthcare Americana!" at the historic Gadsby's Tavern in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia.

Gadsby's was the favorite local eating establishment for George Washington and served as his headquarters during the Revolutionary War. The Tavern has been meticulously maintained and restored to preserve its 18th century appearance, furnishings and artwork. 

Join us for this historic event!    
You don't have to attend the Healthcare Design Conference to attend this reception. We invite all of our Washington-area Certificate holders to join us at this reception. More information and tickets are now available at the AAHID Web site:  www.aahid.org.
NCIDQ Exam News

Exam letters of admission now available online
In its commitment to increased efficiency and sustainability, NCIDQ has upgraded its exam admission process.
 
Beginning with the fall 2008 administration, all NCIDQ Examination admission letters will be available online only. Candidates registered to take the NCIDQ Exam will no longer receive their letters of admission via postal mail. All candidates must retrieve and print their own admission letters.

NCIDQ, in partnership with its examination partner, ACT, Inc., has created a secure online system for retrieving electronic letters of admission. Candidates will receive an e-mail from ACT prior to the exam with instructions on how to retrieve their official letter of admission.

The letter of admission contains important information regarding each candidate's testing location and test-day instructions. It is required for admittance to the exam. Candidates will have the ability to access their electronic letter and print this for admittance to the exam.

For more information regarding the NCIDQ Examination and processes, visit www.ncidq.org.
