The Testing Center at the UF College of Medicine is seeking graduate students interested in working as proctors for on-line exams administered in the Testing Center.  The Online Testing Center was created in 2000 by the College of Medicine to serve the assessment needs of the health profession colleges at the University of Florida.  During the 2002/03 academic year, the center logged over 200 assessment events and 34,000 student hours for Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing.  The Testing Center is available to all Health Center colleges and training programs.  For more information about how the Testng Center operates, please see the Testing Center Policy and Procedures web page.  

The Testing Center is seeking to hire approximately 40 proctors for the 2006-2007 academic year.  The time commitment is expected to be approximately 10-20 hours per month per proctor.  Each test session requires a minimum of 2 proctors; with large groups the ratio of proctors to students is 1:30.  Training sessions will be conducted for new proctors.  Proctors willing to take on additional responsibilities for test administration may be appointed as head proctors.  

Proctors will be paid an hourly rate of $12/hour and head proctors will be paid $15/hour.  Proctors will be paid monthly.

A sample schedule of available testing sessions that will need proctors is shown at the bottom of this web page.  Sign-up sheets for testing sessions will be available in the Office of Medical Education (room CG-78).  Scheduling of proctors for each exam will need to be done 2 weeks in advance.  

The current weekly testing center schedule is also available on-line at the COM Testing Center homepage, and a complete calendar is available on-line at the Testing Center Calendar web page.  Please link here for a filtered list of sessions that will need proctors.  Use icons at the top of the calendar page to navigate different views.  Please note that graduate student proctors are not needed for test sessions with course labels CAMPUS, MAN'S, NUR, NUTRI, and PHAR, or for sessions labeled as reviews for a quiz or exam.
