The value of the CASC certification process started for me when I began to research the qualifications that were required to apply to take the exam. Achieving the qualifying criteria became a professional goal. Preparing for the exam reinforced knowledge learned from experience and exposed me to new and different facts and theories relevant to operating ambulatory surgery centers.... The act of taking the exam was a concentrated learning opportunity in and of itself."
