PARTICIPATE IN DEVELOPING THE NORTH AMERICAN ESSENTIAL COMPETENCY PROFILE IN VETERINARY MEDICINE
Four organizations representing regulation within the veterinary medical profession in Canada and the United States have united to launch an important new initiative – creation of a North American essential competency profile for veterinary medicine. These leaders include the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB), the Canadian Council of Veterinary Registrars (CCVR), the College of Veterinarians of Ontario (CVO), and the International Council for Veterinary Assessment (ICVA). They are joined by advisors from the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), the Canadian National Examining Board (NEB), and the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG).
The goal of the project is to develop a validated, essential competency profile for veterinary medicine in North America that articulates the core competencies of the profession to be maintained throughout a veterinarian’s career. The profile will be used by the veterinary regulatory sector for licensure, quality assurance programs, and continuing competence evaluation. The 20-month project began in August 2020 and will run through Spring of 2022.
The project's Advisory Group is now seeking nominations for qualified individuals to participate as subject matter experts in developing the competency profile.
Please read the full announcement here, which includes information on how to nominate yourself or someone else for participation. The Advisory Group is seeking individuals to serve on either the Competency Profile Development Task Force or in Focus Groups.
The deadline for submitting nominations is Friday, November 13, 2020.
