SELF-ASSESSMENT REVIEW

Continuing competence assessment aims to ensure that post-training or post-licensure, healthcare providers remain competent to perform their jobs across a broad array of knowledge and skills. Regulatory and credentialing authorities are expanding their views of the continuing competence assessment process and seeking alternatives to counting continuing education coursework hours. 

We conducted a systematic review of the literature to review approaches to continuing competence assessment and investigate the validity of self-assessment procedures to facilitate professional development.
