The Board of Ambulatory Surgery Certification (BASC) and PSI, the professional testing agency contracted by BASC to assist in the development, administration, scoring, score reporting and analysis of the CASC and CAIP examinations, will continue to review the guidance, policies, and mandates of local and national governments, information provided by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the planning of the administration of the CAIP and CASC exams. Beginning on March 20, in accordance with the most recent CDC guidelines, PSI has determined it necessary and appropriate to close test centers in the United States until April 13. At this time, no current extensions for testing nor application deadlines have been established. BASC will permit all March 2020 CAIP applicants the option to complete the exam during the next testing window in October 2020. BASC will continue to keep all stakeholders informed of any new developments.
