Competency-Based Certification Project. Phase III: content validity, standard setting and criterion-related validity.

This is the final article in a three-part series explaining the CAMRT's Competency-Based Certification Project--an effort to make the Association's certification process more job-relevant. The first article (Journal, August 1994) explained the job analysis process used to specify and validate the list of duties and tasks required of entry-level medical radiation technologists, the imaging and treatment procedures they perform, and the equipment they use. The second article (Journal, October 1994) explained the process for developing an examination blueprint by reviewing the CAMRT's examinations and summaries of clinical experience in the context of competency-based evaluation and the job analysis validation in each discipline. This article examines the development of assessment standards for certification examinations and summaries of clinical experience. It provides an overview of the steps necessary to develop a valid and defensible licensure/certification process after development of the examination content is complete.

Competency-based certification project. Phase I: Job analysis.

The Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (C.A.M.R.T.) is transforming its existing certification process into a competency-based process, consistent with the knowledge and skills required by entry-level radiography, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine technology practitioners. The project concurs with the change in focus advocated by the Conjoint Committee on Allied Medical Education Accreditation. The Committee supports new accreditation requirements that, among other things, place more emphasis on competency-based learning outcomes. Following is the first of three papers prepared by the C.A.M.R.T. to explain the project and the strategy for its implementation, focusing respectively on each phase. This paper discusses Phase One: the job analysis.

Competency-Based Certification Project. Phase II: Examination blueprint.

This is the second of three articles explaining the C.A.M.R.T.'s Competency-Based Certification Project--an effort to make the certification process more job-relevant. The first article (August 1994 Journal) explained the job analysis process used to specify and validate the list of duties and tasks of entry-level medical radiation technologists, the imaging and treatment procedures they perform, and the equipment they use. This article discusses how the results of the project's job analysis will help determine the content of the certification process. It explains the work involved in reviewing the C.A.M.R.T.'s examinations and summaries of clinical experience in the context of competency-based evaluation and the job analysis validation in each discipline. The resulting "examination blueprint" will become a key document for persons involved in the C.A.M.R.T.'s certification process. This article briefly describes the examination blueprint's components and related concepts. The third and final article of this series will examine the development of assessment standards for certification examinations and summaries of clinical experience.
