This subcommittee reviews session proposals and develops the Annual Educational Conference content. The Entry to Practice Subcommittee is responsible for evaluating and developing sessions that allow those involved in both the initial licensure/ registration / credentialing process, and the continuing competence and professional development area, to discuss the issues, trends and challenges they face outside of the testing and examination realm. Topics may include defining competencies within a scope of practice, setting standards of qualification (education, training, experience), implementing quality assurance mechanisms, establishing equivalencies, assessing practical experience, accrediting education providers, exploring artificial barriers to practice, labor mobility (national and international), appeals processes, when should the bar be raised or lowered, re-entry to practice scenarios, etc.
