On December 2, 2009 the Board of CMAANL adopted the
Entry-Level Occupational Competencies for the Practice
of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada (2009).
The
Entry-Level Occupational Competencies for the Practice
of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Canada (the
"Competencies") were developed by the Canadian
Alliance of Regulatory Bodies for Traditional Chinese
Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists (CARB) over
the period January 2008 - October 2009.
CARB is
currently developing sub-competencies and performance
indicators for the Competencies, which will enable the
creation of a pan-Canadian registration examination, as
well a framework of learning outcomes to be expected of
education programs preparatory to
entry-to-practice.
The Competencies are intended
to identify the job tasks in which entry-level TCM
practitioners and acupuncturists should be proficient,
in order to provide safe, effective and ethical
practice.
The members CARB gratefully acknowledge
the Government of Canada, under the Foreign Credential
Recognition Program, for funding this project in
partnership with BC's Ministry of Advanced Education and
Labour Market Development.
