POST-DOCTORAL EMPLOYMENT
Psychometric Consultant
A. B. Consulting
July 1986 - May 1999, February 2001 - Present
I have served as Research, Assessment, Statistical, and Psychometric
Consultant to numerous governmental, public, and private clients. See Other
Activities section for detail.
Director of Psychometrics and Research
Board of Registry
American Society for Clinical Pathology
Chicago, IL
January 2007 - August 2009
Responsible for all aspects of psychometrics and research at the American
Society for Clinical Pathology-the oldest user of computer-adaptive testing
for certification in the world-including developing and overseeing the
questions and examinations used in the 20 Computer-Adaptive certification
tests given by ASCP. Also responsible for all research projects related to
testing and evaluation. Served as liaison to the Board of Governors
Research & Development Committee. Principal among my duties was to assure
understanding of the tests and questions and the results of the
certification in the fields of clinical pathology. I was also responsible
for conducting practice analysis/job analysis surveys for each examination
type given by ASCP and assisting in achieving and retaining ANSI
accreditation. In addition to my principle accountabilities in the Board of
Registry, I worked with different areas in ASCP to help with their
programs. This included research projects related to ASCP international
initiatives with the Research & Development Institute, analyses of national
proficiency testing results from US pathologists and cytotechnologists,
analyses of the national resident in service examination (RISE) for
pathologists, and qualitative and quantitative assessment of specific ASCP
educational products. As director, I was responsible for administering the
Examination Activities Departments, including test scoring and test
development. Served as consultant in surveys, research, statistics, and
psychometrics to all parts of the ASCP organization and boards.
Director of Psychometrics and Research
National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners
National Center for Clinical Skills Testing
Conshohocken, PA
January 2006 to June 2006
I was responsible for helping lead the National Center for Clinical Skills
Testing of the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners in providing
the best examinations possible in the osteopathic medical areas. This
included responsibility for ensuring that the Clinical Skill examinations
at NBOME are psychometrically sound and offer the most accurate, valid,
reliable, and defensible measures of candidates' clinical skills. Major
parts of this were: maintenance of the scaling and equating parameters
(IRT, Classical, and Generalizability), data collection and aggregation
from multiple sources, and assurance that all parties involved in the
development and scoring procedures provide the highest level of
examinations available. I worked cooperatively with information systems
staff, test developers, and standardized patient trainers and managers to
ensure quality of the examinations. I was responsible for conducting and
reporting on research relating to the clinical skills tests and to their
relationships to other measures, field experience, education, candidate
internships, and residencies, and methods of testing. I disseminated
research and operations reports to medical and psychometric communities,
NBOME Board, senior staff, case developers, and standardized patient
trainers. I was also responsible for verifying and checking on incidents
which may occur within the testing encounters, including recommending and
implementing alternate scoring methods and strategies, and coordinating
policies and procedures for handling exam irregularities. In conjunction
with these activities, I was responsible for communicating the results of
the examinations to organizations, committees, and staff.

included the implementation of the teacher education assessment system
(tracking system) that collects and analyzes data on candidates from
initial identification/recruitment through two years of
employment/induction, in addition to data on faculty, program operations,
and school functions and operations. I worked extensively with other
schools and colleges within the University in mutual and university-wide
programs. I also taught a graduate core course in educational research,
design, and statistics, and helped develop and implement the research
components of the University's new Ph.D. program in Leadership Studies. I
was also responsible for identifying honors students and helping them gain
and retain summer internships, scholarships, and fellowships. I served on a
number of university committees, including the new interdisciplinary core
courses committee, the Academy of Teaching and Learning Advisory Board, and
the McNair Scholars Advisory Board. In addition, I worked on a number of
faculty committees within the School of Education, particularly the
Benchmarks and Barriers Committee for graduate students in the School of
Education. I also worked with a number of faculty members at the
University, helping them with research design, statistical analysis, and

certification. This included examination development, job analysis, test
validation, question development, item analysis, test scoring, testing
systems (paper-and-pencil & computerized), liaison with external vendors,
administrators, and providers, test reporting, research, and evaluation. A
primary accomplishment was earning accreditation (with six commendations)
for EHT from the Conference for Food Protection/American National Standards
Institute (ANSI-CFP), awarded on September 3, 2003. In 2002, I ran the
entire organization. During this period, the number of tests given by the
organization rose from 21,264 examinations per year to 37,210 examinations
per year, a 75% growth. Concurrently, I was responsible for stabilizing the
staff (100% retention), which had a high turn over rate (300%) before my
taking over management of the organization. At the same time, I maintained
EHT's recognition by the national accreditation body, the Conference for
Food Protection (CFP). I added nine new recognized examinations; seven in
English and two in Spanish. In accordance with EHT's need to protect the
public and certify appropriate food safety personnel, during my time, EHT
had tests in nine languages - English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, Arabic, German, and Vietnamese. In conjunction with administering
EHT, I served as an active member of the CFP Food Protection Manager
Training, Testing and Certification Committee, to help assure that the
public is protected from food related problems, by certifying minimal
competence among the practitioners.

evaluations, performing role delineation/job analysis studies, developing
test blueprints, developing and assembling examinations (written, computer
administered, simulation, practical), conducting cut-score workshops,
equating examination versions, and performing statistical and psychometric
analyses of examination results. As Vice President of Research &

responsible for the management of psychometric personnel, budgeting and
procurement authorization for the division, strategic planning for the
department, setting of goals and objectives of the department, and
providing support to the Board of Trustees on testing, psychometrics,
research, and any other assigned issues. I led the job analyses projects
