Clinical Competency Assessment

Clinical Competency Assessment is a process used to evaluate whether healthcare professionals have the necessary skills, knowledge, and judgment to provide safe and effective patient care. It typically involves observing and testing their performance in real or simulated clinical situations, ensuring they meet established standards. This assessment helps ensure practitioners are capable of making sound decisions, performing procedures correctly, and providing high-quality care, which ultimately protects patient safety and promotes professional development.
