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.
