You can expect to receive a personal profile of the average outcomes for your clients and an aggregate profile of the whole group. Occasionally, a member may practice in a setting that is significantly different or have clients who are significantly different from the average. The competency assessment uses an interview to assess aspects of competency. The competencies assessed are drawn from the Competency Profile of the Entry Level Physiotherapist, published by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Two assessors rate the member on their responses to a series of scenario based questions.
Most members easily demonstrate the assessed competencies above an entry level.
Rarely, a member is identified who has gaps in clinical skills or knowledge. In this case, the member's results are reviewed by the Quality Management Committee who may recommend remediation. Members are required to participate in remediation if recommended by the Committee. In these cases, the member participates with the CPO to design the remediation process. Generally, a learning plan is developed, and the member agrees to complete the learning plan.
