Practice review is the third element of the continuing competency program. It is the only association-led component of the continuing competency program. The purpose of a practice review is to provide members with an assessment of their competency in their areas of practice in order to achieve a more knowledgeable and viable group. Also, this element should demonstrate the effectiveness of the other two elements of the continuing competency program.

Practice Review Summary
In 2009, the ABCFP carried out 13 practice reviews on members chosen at random as well as a few members who volunteered for a review. Below is a summary of findings.
