Assessment of Students Professional and Clinical Competencies

Assessment of Students Professional and Clinical Competencies

The national student professional conduct and clinical competency evaluation framework was developed in partnership with practising speech and language therapists, speech and language therapy managers, members of the Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists (IASLT), practice educators, practice tutors, regional placement facilitators, practice education coordinators, and students. It is used to assess the (a) professional conduct and (b) clinical competencies of students pursing a qualification in speech and language therapy in all Higher Education Institutions in Ireland (i.e., Trinity College Dublin, National University of Ireland Galway, University College Cork, and University of Limerick). It aligns closely with all CORU’s standards of proficiency.
