Competency Checklist
Electroneurophysiology procedures The procedures, as identified, should accurately reflect the experiences of the applicant. Those items achieved at a level of ‘competence’ indicate that the applicant has demonstrated, through independent actions, the orderly progression of tasks required to achieve accurate diagnostic data within a reasonable standard of time, for a variety of patient cases. Those identified as N/A may require orientation within the Alberta clinical setting. To complete the checklist: 1.
indicate the date when the procedure was last performed.
2.
indicate whether competence was demonstrated or whether the particular procedure was not applicable to the area of clinical practice.
3.
obtain supervisor validation for the checklist entries.
