Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, academic institutions were forced to pivot toward online education. With the switch to online learning, e-proctoring became a popular choice to continue proctored exam assessments. Many concerns arose from this technology, including privacy, psychological, and performance concerns. With the resumption of in-person learning, faculty are faced with the question of continuing with e-proctoring alone, switching back to campus testing centers, or utilizing a combination of both modes. This study aims to understand health sciences students' perceptions and attitudes regarding e-proctoring versus testing center use. An 18-question survey was distributed to health sciences students. The survey had 244 respondents. Descriptive statistics and a one-sample t-test and Cohen's d were utilized to analyze the results. The results indicate that students feel less stress and anxiety using e-proctoring compared to testing centers. Participants also reported a perception of improved exam performance and good exam security. This research helps faculty and decision-makers understand student attitudes and perceptions regarding e-proctoring versus testing center use.
