Setting Learning Goals
Learning Goals should be set and updated regularly. Ideally the learning objectives should be entered after completing the self reflection journals, however, this is not a requirement.
The minimum requirement for learning goals is 3, however, it is recommended to set 3-5. Two of the learning goals must be directly related to an essential competency under one of the seven domains described in the NPAG competency profile.
Essential competencies are organized into seven domains:
-
Physiotherapy Expertise
-
Communication
-
Collaboration
-
Management
-
Leadership
-
Scholarship
-
Professionalism
To see the essential compentencies in each domain download the NPAG competency profile
