In this episode of Tried and Tested, host Isabelle Gonthier sits down with Amy Farmer, Senior Director of Mobility at the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB), for a dynamic conversation on striking the balance between accessibility and security in credentialing.
Live from PSI’s Olathe, Kansas headquarters, Amy and Isabelle explore how AAVSB's program supports over 10,000 veterinary technician candidates annually, many from remote areas across North America. Amy shares how the program has evolved to embrace remote proctoring, linear-on-the-fly (LOFT) testing, and multiple eligibility pathways while rigorously safeguarding exam integrity.
You’ll hear how AAVSB promotes transparency with stakeholders, partners with psychometricians, and uses AI-driven innovations to enrich exam development and practice assessments. Plus, Amy reveals exciting new directions, including scenario-based competency assessments and the importance of industry-wide collaboration in tackling test security threats head-on.
Whether you're navigating the complexities of credentialing exams or exploring the future of the industry, this conversation offers invaluable insights into building resilient, accessible, and future-ready programs.
