CAPR forced to cancel Clinical Component scheduled for this weekend

March 20, 2021

CAPR has been forced to cancel all sessions of the Clinical Component administration scheduled for today and tomorrow, March 20 and March 21, 2021. Despite extensive preparatory work with our vendors ProctorU and EMS, the launch of our first-ever fully online exam was unsuccessful. CAPR senior leadership made the decision to cancel the exam shortly after its launch early this morning due to significant technical difficulties.

All affected candidates have been contacted directly by CAPR staff regarding the cancellation.

The CAPR team extends our sincerest apologies to the candidates who have been negatively impacted by this unacceptable failure.
