NC PT licensees may earn points toward continuing competence activities for license renewal by completion of a Self-Assessment/ Reflective Practice Exercise. There are two options:
You may submit a self-assessment or reflective practice exercise for approval prior to completing it or use the exercise NCBPTE has designed.
NCBPTE Self-Assessment/Reflective Practice Exercise
To earn 5 points toward the Self-Assessment Continuing Competence Category, all 5 parts must be completed in their entirety.
The purpose of the exercise is to help clinicians assess their level of competence and to develop goals and a plan of action for improvement. It is not a one-time exercise, but is designed to help licensees develop a professional roadmap. Therefore, it should be maintained and updated on a regular basis during the reporting period. A copy of all materials should be kept as documentation of the continuing competence activity.
