Using Competency Models to Inform Regulatory Board Initiatives

This interactive discussion will focus on the use of competency modeling and competency analysis studies to inform credentialing/regulatory initiatives at both entry-to-practice and beyond.  The presenters will provide the audience with background information on what a competency analysis is, how competency analysis studies differ from practice analysis studies, and how the results may be used to develop and inform credentialing/regulatory requirements.  The use of a universal competency model vs. a fully contextualized, profession-specific model will be illustrated.  Audience members will respond to polling questions and provide examples of ways they have used or envision using competency analysis studies to develop and inform credential/regulatory requirements, assessments, and ongoing quality assurance initiatives.
