This action is made in accordance with and subject to the Constitution, Bylaws, Regulations, and Requirements of the AOBOS and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). I understand that the certifying examination is a proprietary document of the AOBOS and AOA, and that I do not and will not have the right to review the examination or any examination questions at any time prior to or following the administration of the examination. I agree to disqualification from examination or from issuance of certification or to the surrender of such certification as directed by the AOBOS and/or the AOA in the event that any of the statements made by me in this application are false, or in the event any of the bylaws, rules, regulations, and requirements governing such examinations are violated by me, or in the event that I do not comply with any of the provisions of the Constitution, Bylaws, Regulations, or Requirements of the AOBOS or the AOA. I agree that my professional qualification, including my moral and ethical standing in the osteopathic medical profession and my competence in clinical skills will be evaluated by the Board and that the Board may make inquiry of the persons named in my application and of other persons such as authorities or licensing bodies, hospital, program directors, and other institutions as the Board may deem appropriate with respect to such matters; and I agree that the sources of all information furnished to the Board in connection with its inquiry shall be confidential and not subject to disclosure, through legal process or otherwise, to me or any persons acting on my behalf. I agree that the AOBOS and the AOA shall be the sole judges of my credentials and qualifications for admission to the examination for certification. I hereby release, discharge, exonerate, and agree to hold harmless the AOBOS, the AOA, their members, examiners, trustees, officers, representatives, and agents and free from any action, suit, obligation, damage, expense, claim, demand, or complaint by reason of any action they or any one of them may take in connection with this application, such certifying examinations, the grade or grades given with respect to any certifying examination, and/or failure of the AOBOS to recommend issuance to me of the certification, or the revocation of any certification issued pursuant to this application. It is understood that the decision as to whether my performance on any certification examination qualifies me for certification rests solely and exclusively with the AOBOS and the AOA, and that their decision is final. In the event that any dispute shall arise concerning the certification examination and or administration, or any other issue relating to the certification process, I understand that the AOA has an administrative appeal process available and I agree to first pursue all available administrative appeals and internal reviews before pursuing any other forms of relief. I further agree that Illinois law shall apply to the resolution of any dispute that I may have with the AOBOS or AOA. I have this date carefully read and agreed to full compliance with the foregoing.
