Self-Assessment
The Self-Assessment is based on the CMRITO’s Standards of Practice. Each year,
registrants are required to assess their individual practice against a minimum of two of
the eight Practice Standards and their related Indicators. Completing this self-assessment
annually helps registrants identify opportunities to enhance their knowledge of the Practice
Standards and their Indicators.
3. R
ecord of Continuing Education and Professional Development (CE&PD)
Registrants are required to complete and record at least 25 hours of CE&PD activities
annually. These learning activities may include professional readings, seminars, webinars,
conferences, courses, learning from other professionals (e.g. attendance at rounds,
tutorials and staff meetings), training on new equipment, applications, procedures or
software, writing and delivering presentations, courses or clinical teaching, research, writing
a professional journal article or paper, and others. Registrants must reflect on what they
learned from each activity and explain how they have applied this learning in their practice.
The
QA ePortfolio automatically stores all registrant QA records for the past five years.
Registrants can also download copies of their QA ePortfolios if they wish to retain their
records for longer.
Did you know? CMRITO has a free app. The ‘QuickQA’ app is available on both
the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Registrants can use it to record
their learning activities on the go, prior to uploading them to the QA ePortfolio.
Peer and Practice Assessment
Peer
and Practice Assessments are completed by means of an Individual Practice
Assessment (IPA). They help identify areas of strength as well as areas that may require
awareness, learning, and improvement. An IPA may be assigned to registrants by the QA
Committee as required. The assessment process is aimed at providing feedback regarding a
registrant’s performance in their practice setting.
An
IPA involves a peer assessor observing and/or interviewing a registrant regarding the
specific areas of their practice which may not be meeting the CMRITO Standards of Practice.
A report of the assessment is prepared by the assessor and provided to the QA Committee
and the registrant.
